Contract farming only exists becsuse of the tax regime and subsidies paid to non farmersIts always doom and gloom where ever you are but I think most are adapting and carrying on, with more compliance work taking up their time.
One difference I see here is, generally if a farmer gets fed up of farming, or doesn't feel they are making money, a For Sale sign goes up and someone else has a go. There's some leased ground but the whole landlord/contract farm thing doesn't seem to work here.
The UK seems to have a lot of land owners that don't want to farm but wont give the ground up either.
I don't think there's any money offered for "green" schemes.
Sustainable Farming Initiative.. being designed by DEFRA to replace BPS area payments on general farmland.. not a great scheme idea thus far!!Whats that
You should buy a farm here if its too hard thereSustainable Farming Initiative.. being designed by DEFRA to replace BPS area payments on general farmland.. not a great scheme idea thus far!!
The grass looks greener on the other side of the fenceYou should buy a farm here if its too hard there
Warning. They are expensive and there's a list of things you need to comply with if you want to farm it. The difference is you don't get paid for complying.
Do you think there's no rules here?
