[QUOTE="delilah, post: 7953042, member: 76758"] :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: OK, I will bite. Why is ELMS the mess that it is ? ELMS is the mess that it is, because Defra had it put into their heads that there are 'good' ways of farming, and there are 'bad' ways of farming. They never should have swallowed this, but they did, and I guess fair play to those who sold them the story. They thus attempted to design ELMS - specifically the SFI standards - such that it would encourage the 'good' ways, and discourage the 'bad' ways. Any farmer who has expressed the view - in private conversations with Defra, in talks they have given, on farm walks, whatever - that there are 'good' ways and 'bad' ways is directly responsible - yes, directly responsible - for where we are at. Slowly, belatedly, but just in time, [USER=153068]@Janet Hughes Defra[/USER] and her team are coming to understand that there are not, in fact, 'good' ways and 'bad' ways, but rather there are different ways. Thus they are redesigning ELMS. We should never have had to go through the tortuous process that has been ELMS to date, but no matter, the long lead time is saving the day. They will get there.
