The way GLAS works is that one gets paid for certain actions.
It is not like REPS - people are paid for doing specific things on the farm. If people are sharing land, they must get buy-in for the actions from at least 50% of the people farming the land. It would be a nonsense if we were paying 10% of people in a commonage when everyone else had to contribute as well.
