Hi Shrimpo.....yes the set aside regs have been dropped for next year....please find below my response to Jlmusic on Race kites......
"Thanks for the positives.......Not sure that it is defunct tho, the set aside classifications also apply to those field classified as permanent pasture. Also they can put the set aside regs in again whenever their disconnected logic takes over. The additional benefit will of course get us into the regulations as a body for future discussions.
I do of course use the terms "discussions" loosely as they are good at telling us that they're right and we're wrong, so we can pay them more tax, for less freedom and more paperwork...all designed to keep them in power and not for our benefit. http://www.racekites.com/forum/smileys/smiley7.gif So I will continue trying to cause mischief and waiving our flag.http://www.racekites.com/forum/smileys/smiley32.gif
The process has been enlightening with regard to hearing the stories of RPA irrational gestapo antics and putting farmers under more pressure than they are under already! But what can you do they're right long live the urban environment!!! (let the rest of us go hang)http://www.racekites.com/forum/smileys/smiley7.gifhttp://www.racekites.com/forum/smileys/smiley35.gif
Apologies for rant but have kept a lid on it for a while now.... anyway there'll be another posting on the blog later after I've called the RPA to see if our freindly government department have deigned to see fit to answer the last letter.....I am not holding my breath.http://www.racekites.com/forum/smileys/smiley21.gif"
I have to admit to a growing frustration too Gav0rchid.......I only wish I had the ability to disappear off to the sun when the frustration gets too much. Good for you.
