hobbit:
If this goes on, I can forsee more illegal running on lanes and private land, could lead to a slippery slope :?

It'd certainly make for an expensive day out. As I understand it the farmer doesn't just lose the subsidy on the land you use but might lose it for the whole farm.
Manicminer:
With some schemes on hill farms in N. Wales the farmer himself is not allowed to take his own 4x4 on the land.
Priglet:
--- Quote from: "LOFTY" ---Well, what do expect, the farmers get paid to do everything, from fencing to laying hedges, and best off all to over produce crops.

Subsidy's are gradually getting reduced and it looks like they might eventually get scrapped but currently this year's payment is based on what was paid over the last couple of years. Therefore if a farmer had beef cattle or sheep last year he's entitled to the equivalent amount of subsidy this year - even if he no longer keeps animals, guess how many people are moving out of stock?
What's it mean to the public, british food gets more expensive and we start shipping all our meat from countries like Argentina and Chile where who knows what condition it was brought up in. :evil:
Thrasher:
What about tractor pulling? That's a motor sport AND it's related to farming ;-)
