Entry Level Scheme and Management Decisions Simplified
We'll be guided by 4cast as to what we should be looking at in the future but I think we'll definitely be going for the Entry Level Scheme in addition to fine tuning the approach we have developed over the years.”
Will Hecks Grower
ProCam’s 4 cast agronomy management approach is helping South East arable producer Will Hecks not only benefit from more accurate crop management information but its also making application for the Entry Level Scheme a more simple process than feared.
“These are tough times for arable producers and we’re all finding our way through to identifying the best way forward in the future,” Will Hecks says. “Whatever the future holds, though, having access to the best management information and an understanding of what is profitable and what is not, will be the best competitive advantage we can have.”
Will’s thinking is very much to keep farming as much land as possible and the opportunity of more land would be one he would jump at although he admits, the impact of the Single Farm Payment will probably be a major learning curve over the next few years.
