On encouraging people into tillage and organic farming, ACRES is essentially the Government's flagship agri-environment scheme. There seems to be significant interest in it. I do not know what the tranche 1 intake was. I think the intake in tranche 2 is 4,000. There were 46,000 expressions of interest.
