Going off the back of the recent news from Defra and reading the current thread about it it would be interesting to see exactly how much land people where actually considering taking out of production.

This fact begs the question of what to do with marginal land. It would suggest it should be...

the options seem few and some very negative opinions...
Started applying to see how it stacks up.
I have GS2 on a piece under CS
I now want to add IGL2, but its not giving the option to do so.
Small bit in the same field that has no GS2 on it can have IGL2 and LIG1 (which is same as GS2)
