I will let you count the yellow dots. The scheme ran between 1999 - 2012. As you will see there were only a couple of farms surveyed in your area, this might be due to a lack of volunteers in your area. The scheme was advertised in the Farming press and local newspapers in my area so It is likely the same happened in your area. I surveyed 5 farms and I received a lot of positive feedback from farmers.</p></blockquote><p></p>
