Online resources: Summary: Using a case study approach, assesses the income foregone as a result of participation in the Entry Level Scheme (ELS). Examines ELS impact on farm profit and the differences between the actual costs and income foregone and those assumed by the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) in setting ELS payment rates. Finds that there is a substantial difference between the actual costs and income foregone and those assumed by DEFRA. The farms were therefore able to profit from their ELS agreements and it did make a positive contribution to farm income. Discusses issues about the principles involved, in particular the use of actual and notional costs and the overlap between agri-environment requirements and voluntary unpaid measures undertaken by farmers ex ante. Asks whether it is only those farmers who are able to profit who will enter the scheme.
