04/05/22 - Lump Sum Exit Scheme, native crayfish, UFU elections and electric tractors

Will the Government's Lump Sum Exit Scheme really provide a leg up for new entrants?

Under the Government's Lump Sum Exit Scheme farmers must relinquish their land to claim the payment. They can either sell it, gift it or rent it out for a minimum of 5 years. After 5 years they can then take the land back in hand - so will the scheme really help free up land for new entrants?

The Ulster Farmers Union has a new President. Livestock farmer David Brown from County Fermanagh was voted in by union members at their AGM.

And we hear about the challenges of making an electric agricultural vehicle.
