I thank the Minister for those details. I acknowledge that he has taken feedback on board and made modifications and extensions with those five options, making the process more accessible and meaningful for farmers. Can he outline the options that were considered and did not make it? One of those schemes focuses on working in co-operation with neighbours on adjacent farms. There are areas where it will not be possible to get all of the farms around involved in the scheme. Maybe somebody is letting out land or neighbours are not seeing eye to eye. We will end up with some farmers being excluded. Is there some measure to get the maximum benefit in an area so that people would not be excluded in that situation?
