    How would we know?

    even if there was someone on here familiar with that side of the aeos scheme (and I dont know that there is, based on past threads) you've given zero detail.

    Have you read all the documentation a few times? it's the only way to gain an understanding, and it takes a few readings because it's all in different documents.

    you probably need to get talking to a planner, only ten days to go.

    As far as I know, the AEOS Scheme has nothing to do with stocking densities. Just environment measures.

    Double check but I'm almost sure. If its similar to the first AEOS scheme, beware, that for all the planting options you will only be paid back what you spend on the trees, plus the few bob for labour. It caught alot of people out in the first one.

    The hay meadows was a good option IMO if its still there
