That is probably comes down to the next question. This is like the leaving certificate again for Dr. Upton. Moving on to the next point, we will probably need to marry up the whole process of educating farmers to go solar, together with everything that we are looking at so far in respect of CAP reform. Are we are not looking at a model in which farmers are directly rewarded for an investment that can deliver a reduction in emissions and carbon offset? If we look at the examples given here, is that not the route we should really be taking for farmers?
