[QUOTE="Dave645, post: 8157383, member: 55822"] It’s going to be a car crash, it’s just happening in slow motion. Most farmers assumed when we were told the pot of money was going to be the same, they assumed that farmers would be getting it, a good 66% is going to be for very limited schemes with long term or near permanent changes to our landscape and, non farming bodies have skill fully been lining up for the money. it’s stupidity and very short sighted, but it’s politically very good, right until the point the farming industry goes under. Then they will need 3 times the money to try to revive the farming industry, which will play nicely with big business as they take up the job, of the tens of thousands of small family farms. That have gone bust. diversify is what they say you should do. . . it’s like asking a brick layer to do brick laying for below a living wage, but take a part time job to subsidise it. Or pack up farming and get another job, never mind producing food for people to eat, let them eat grass and trees and wetlands. [/QUOTE]
