Low grazing on moorland | New | 3 years | £20-£66 per ha dependent on stocking density | Moorland is grazed with a low livestock density to support and enhance moorland habitat alongside farming |
Supplement: Keep cattle and ponies on moorland | New | 3 years | £7-£23 per ha dependent on stocking | When you graze moorland with a low livestock density, you do so with a proportion of cattle or ponies or horses |
Manage livestock grazing on moorland | New | 3 years | £33-50 per ha depending on stocking dates | Livestock grazing on moorland is managed to avoid impacting habitats which are sensitive to damage from grazing, wherever possible |
Tiny leaning trees and heather and wetter than an otters pocket .Is there a definition of moorland somewhere?
Seems to be an overlap on these....Anyone grazing moorland able to make sense of it ?

About £81 an acre isn't it for low input PP , only had quick glimpse but could be wrong !I can't see there's much there to benefit normal permanent pasture?
The devil will be in the detail.Is that just to placate the Dartmoor boys as they savage their stock carrying limits? @egbert might have a view

£151 / ha I believe, unchanged from before Xmas.About £81 an acre isn't it for low input PP , only had quick glimpse but could be wrong !
Non SDA
Yes , I seem to have seen some additional top up payment to that for administration purposes I think that made the 151 up a bit more , but that payment may have been capped at £1000 per SBI can't remember !£151 / ha I believe, unchanged from before Xmas.

but can't just find it again now cos it's all to complicated trying to relocate what and where it was

Bang on !as l see it, whichever party wins the next election, if they don't know now, they damn soon will, the countries bust.
they have borrowed up to the eyeballs, especially over covid, correctly so there, and it has to be paid back.
it would seem the general public don't realise that, they must think like the politicians do, there's a money tree that gives out free cash.
pretty soon, huge amounts of money will be needed, to replenish all the munitions given to Ukraine, and they needed them, what guv should have done, is use the time between then and now, to re-arm, as some european countries are doing.
the only way money can be had, without borrowing, is a little three lettered word, with huge negative implications, tax.
and neither party are going to admit that, before the next election. Even they are not that stupid.
so, skint country, facing dangerous times, to little food security, reliant on 'luck' to keep food inflation down, do people honestly think all these generous environmental payments, will still be paid, when the shite hits the fan ? Do you think green policies are more important than feeding people, and protecting the country ?
at least sunak has the balls to allow exploration for new oil/gas fields. And the vocal zealotic greenies, will be among the first to complain energy's to dear, foods to dear, and they can't jet off, for holiday's in the sun.
and to be honest, probably 75% of voters don't give a feck about the environment, when push comes to shove.
rant over.
son reckons he has found one of the higher paying schemes, that we can apply to our Scheduled monument field, 8 acres, the only other one, is low input grassland, lets hope he's right. Can't do much with it, and other than SFP, no money to maintain it.This out today, not sure if there's anything new but sharing in case:
