Apologies for the long download link but this is last years HLS options and capital works rates. Hedgerow maintainance is something like £56/100m for doing both sides but there is an option for doing one side. Laying is done on a per m basis, something like £7.00/m with additions for binding/staking, new planting and site prep. Section 3.1 is your best bet.

HLS is pretty much no longer available - under the new NELMS scheme which will come into force Jan 2016. You'll be looking at: £9.40/m for hedgelaying - £4/m coppicing hedge - £9.50/m gapping up - £3/m Casting up - £4.10/m pre work - £3.40 top binding and staking (depends where you are in the country).

 

NELMS won't be available to everyone everywhere, but there's a strong chance there will be capital only grants which could include hedgelaying. These should be more widely available than the whole farm schemes.

 

Hope that helps

oh, and dont forget all the paper work to do,payment schedule of sometime maybe never, and approval of defra/hls inspector who comes around. knows bugger all about practical agriculture and or environment.

unable to measure field sizes, and account for/comprehend differing areas of hilly land when measured by satillite and wheel.

 

so i can see dads point of view,but not agree with,,,,,,flail em off,and its done with.

 

you can not beat a well laid hedge,stock proof,people proof,car proof,bio diversity heaven,

 

but lunatics are running the asylum and implementing their interpretation of EU directives.

 

we have been farming for several generations, "good practice"is irrelivant . factory monsanto

 

farming mass produced chemical laden cheap crap is what we are forced to produce.

Near where we are currently working they have recently had hedge laying comp. Looked really realy nice a lot of the work. One growing season later, you can not tell the difference from those hedges and the flailed ones next to them as you drive by.

 

I still like the layed ones mind.

Some good information there chaps, thanks very much.

Last time I worked a grant hedge it was £5/m and £2.40 for stakes and binders. It was possible to do and earn a wage but I really had to work "down to cost" as opposed to the preferred "up to spec".

It would seem rates are a bit more reasonable now.

 

The farm in question is in HLS at the moment and there just figuring out whether the laying needs doing over two or three seasons. About a mile of hedge in with some more recent plantings for the future as well.

if you look close at a flailed hedge thats not been laid and a laid hedge there be gaps in bottom of hedge in the unlaid hedge so not stock.wind proof.
