Personally I agree with the cap.. The money should be used to improve the rural economy not degrade it.
The scheme shouldn’t promote “retirement farms” it should promote letting someone else having go via rent or purchase.
Without the cap all the farmers/contractors farming investor owned land via either fbt or cfa would be replaced by a set and forget SFI option
I am concerned about how much the goal posts keep changing though. In the 3yrs of SFI every year’s agreement has been completely different from the previous, no one can plan for this.
