[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 9150531, member: 44728"] I’m with you on SFI not really being a subsidy. It is money for doing something else , rather than that actual growing of a cash crop. Hence the word ‘Incentive’. It must be remembered that it is often money for replacing cash crops with an alternative environmental crop. Therefore it is replacing a subsidy for growing a food crop, of which the cash income will no longer be received. IMO, I think it is all wrong, but I’m not looking any gift-horses in the mouth while it is available. The other thing to remember, although it is only so during the lifetime of this Government (which will end shortly) is that the SFI income is ring-fenced from the total amount of BPS and former CS money paid to all farmers, before SFI and any new extra CS agreement took place. What the tw@‘s at Defra have forgotten that taking land out of food production, means it will be green elsewhere, far less environmentallly sound. In effect exporting our CO2 problem to somewhere else in the world. It’s fecking madness! But it will win votes from ignorant people and someone will get a ‘gong’ for it which like Paula Vennals, they absolutely do not deserve! [/QUOTE]
