[QUOTE="Wombat, post: 7913332, member: 1709"] There always seems to be these things a strange concept that farmers aren’t a professional business and cannot be paid appropriately. The vets get to charge their full whack for the health visit on Sfi, if you get fencing done on a scheme it’s not at a discount to the person doing it, yet the person covering all the risk of these and dealing with Defra when they mess it up gets maybe minimum wage. I got charged £160 by the plumber for travelling time last week to pick up a £15 part and come and fit it so 2 visits. I have a friend involved in hs2 maintainence for tree surgeons and he says they cannot spend the money they make fast enough but when it comes to the likes of this it’s here is a few quid be quiet. As an engineer who farms for me it’s pay sensible numbers of the answer will be no. [/QUOTE]
