I'm not gonna say never, but with no certainty that I can see even in the next 2 or 3 years, let alone time for the scheme to bed in doing nowt seems the most certain.

You joke but I recon there will a good market smuggling persecuted British farmers into Europe to claim asylum. I think my business plan is fairly water tight. I'm going to scavenge old dingy's off the beaches around Dover to minimise cost and charge famers 5-10 acres for the crossing.
Curious on that one, as at the moment mid tier is available to non BPS claimants whereas SFI you have to have been a recipient of BPS. So if they are merging which way is that eligibility going to swing ?
No idea .
Have you not noticed some mid tier options are now available in SFI ?
i was told cs and sfi will all become one eventually
There you go @delilah
from an arable point of view i think they have done a pretty good job. - it won’t suit those on 15t/ha land but why does land like that need tax payers cash to be viable ?
it will push arable production onto the better land where as providing public good / natural capital for tax payers money will look more attractive to those farming less productive acres who it will help remain viable on lower output / lower fixed cost systems that are kinder to ecosystems/ environment
it doesn’t look so great for livestock farmers from what i see but unless your a consistent big yielding arable or root crop farm I think it’s a utter no brainer for arable

Landscape Recovery: Gone
Local Nature Recovery: Gone
It makes more sense for them to put the whole thing out of its misery by killing SFI, call it all Countryside Stewardship, and pretend the last three years never happened.
