Haymaking in Borrowdale, Cumbria.
The Tenant Farmers Association (TFA) is warning that up to half of tenant farmers may be excluded from new Government schemes developed to replace the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and access to developing markets for carbon and biodiversity offsets.
In many cases tenants are not allowed to enter Government schemes for the improvement of the environment without their landlord’s consent, said TFA CEO George Dunn.
