[QUOTE="frederick, post: 9184929, member: 11063"] So the DEFRA view in one of their presentations was for winter bird seed they would expect to see summer flowers and small seeds for birds to achieve the aims. I'm not sure inspection will be rigorous but I think they will expect to see the required species and would actually like to see them left long enough in the year to flower at some point to achieve sam3. If farmers expect future progress with schemes then I think that should be their aim as well for the payment. I have considered buying the seed and still cutting it and fertilising it like normal so it turns into a prg ley for the money but currently my moral compass is saying no. Considering increasing fields that I could class as clover but think I would prefer to establish the clover and know my claim was safe afterwards rather than claiming in the hope. If we try to screw them over those above that are aiming to do it properly will be screwed over in return first and a lot of our trust with the public will be lost. [/QUOTE]
