Think anyone who has a high stocking density of sucklers is going to loose, north east, orkney etc.
Keep an eye on the greening detail I'd say.

Under the new french system the first 52 hectares are more heavily subsidized. We are already below the national average per hectare but are going to lose another 25000 euros because we farm a larger than average area

That's my scenario.

Cow number will plummet in my area.

Grazing land will be ploughed for spring cereal crops to produce home grown feed and bedding.

They should have made them hard decisions at the start not the end.

 

[Ali]

We don't get, so don't follow or understand how it works. All I know is lots of boys potentially gonna be gonna having to make hard decisions

Basically they can't carry on doing something that's only giving them half a living now the other half has gone

If they wait until they have no money the decision isn't hard its easy, a lot get huge payments not because they are stupid but because they are clever, bear that in mind.

Basically they can't carry on doing something that's only giving them half a living now the other half has gone

Or rather can't carry on getting paid for something that someone in the business used to do a decade ago.

We're doomed. We're all doomed!

 

[Oldmacdonald]
