Is there a list of approved planners somewhere?I see the REAP scheme was opened for applications yesterday.
What’s people’s opinions on it?
Anyone apply for it yet?
Is it right that the planner has to apply for the farmer and that they can only have 10 clients each?
I presume there is, on dept website?Is there a list of approved planners somewhere?
Ya I'd be wary of the costs involved alright, there is no set fee for the planner to make the plan or call out to inspect the land, it's up to each planner and farmer to agree the price, at least if one knew what admin fees were involved it would make it easier to calculate how much could be made on it.Net income to farmers equals???
It's such a highly subjective scheme, it will be hugely expensive to administer is my gut reading through the specs tonight.
My any chance have you an affiliation with that paper? You like to link it a lot...This article from That`s Farming points some concerns over some of the details involved in REAP:
