| Most of the land had been included in EU set-aside schemes and a riding school was operating on the remaining part of the farm. |
|
| Ireland sought a derogation for the use of set-aside land some weeks ago in view of the persistent wet weather conditions this year. |
|
| I believe farmers would benefit from tougher antitrust laws and probably from a voluntary set-aside program for major field crops. |
|
| Farmers needing to graze their animals on set-aside land should write to their Regional Service Centre for permission. |
|
| In fact, the unproductive vast amount of agricultural set-aside land could be used to grow oil-seed rape to feed all types of engines. |
|
| A pair of yellowhammers looked bleached in the bright sun, skylarks sang and settled in fallow or set-aside fields. |
|
| Covering every acre of agricultural set-aside with short coppice willow and burning every scrap of carbon neutral forestry residue might scrape up another four per cent! |
|
| German farmers would be the first to be affected but the set-aside scheme was a sound ecological solution and less costly than surpluses. |
|
| It will also submit a report concerning the use of land and incentives to set-aside. |
|
| They mainly cover the loss of revenue resulting from set-aside and possible costs of seeding. |
|
| As well as the cows we have five sheep on set-aside land and arable for feed. |
|
| The environmental farm plan program helped us build some fencing and was a good program, and so was the heifer set-aside program. |
|
| Looking further ahead, in the 'Health Check', I want to take a good look at whether set-aside is still an appropriate tool. |
|
| Then you can edit the image to 'fence off' different varieties, conservation headlands, set-aside and other non-cropped areas. |
|
| Another ongoing issue is whether the set-aside lands truly form a representative selection for protecting values such as biodiversity. |
|
| After a two-year transition period, oilseeds, cereals and set-aside land will receive the same level of aid, uncoupled from price movements. |
|
| Of course, we pay cereal growers to stop growing crops: we call it restructuring aid', like the set-aside payment or the grubbing-up premium. |
|
| This uncompensated set-aside is in addition to their obligation regarding compulsory set-aside. |
|
| The set-aside arrangements laid down resulted in arable land lying fallow while, at the same time, livestock were being fed on animal protein, including some from animal meal. |
|
| Acreage available for manure application excludes land that does not require fertilisation, land where livestock manure cannotbe applied under normal conditions and land designated as set-aside acreage. |
|
|
|
| The resurgence of EU wheat production and overall EU grain production in part reflects the swift policy response which saw set-aside established at zero for the latest production season. |
|
| Normally the agricultural use of set-aside areas is allowed only from 31 August onwards but due to the current heatwave, the animal feed growing on these areas would dry up by then. |
|
| The EESC notes that the Commission's proposal to introduce compulsory ten-year set-aside, in place of rotational set-aside, will in practice run into major difficulties and be met by a lack of understanding. |
|
| Set-aside payments will not help the farmer much because the subsidy is the same as if it had been cropped, but without the actual crop to sell. |
