[QUOTE="topground, post: 7724219, member: 556"] Should we have a thread to share experience of being accepted as a pilot? I have made an application which, if accepted will give me an opportunity to challenge the researchers to show me how the grassland standard will be measured. How many species of grass can be counted in a square metre before the grass heads and how do you maintain avarage grass length in simple system like mine where the cows graze off everything in the autumn and are outwintered and in the spring until the grass catches up when I switch to a grazing rotation. To change that system which works on my ground would cost me more than the scheme pays so I already know I am unlikely to progress beyond the pilot even if accepted. If the intention of the scheme is to encourage wildlife it would be far more effective to add top end predators to the general licence to give ground nesting and hedgerow birds and small mammals more of a chance of survival.
