As @milkloss said above.
Will those of us maintaining existing miles of hedges and lots of trees be rewarded for that fact, or be reading about all the payments being made for replacing these features? Some were of course initially removed with grant aid, in the days when actual food production was considered important.
Are the government sure they are following the correct path now, given that (as above) previous government policy has been the exact opposite of current government policy?
How can farmers be sure that the government won't change their mind every 5 years?
Will the government actually take responsibility for their part in these schemes, rather than farmers carrying the can for following the government policy of the day? e.g. hedgerow removal from years back which is still used as ammunition against farmers today.
