    What is REPS or GLAS ??????

    The GLAS scheme is a green scheme as it preserves traditional hay meadows and low-input pastures; habitat preservation and practices such as minimum tillage; and, agri-environment as it promotes agricultural actions, which try to preserve endangered species of flora and fauna and climate change mitigation.

    REPS is rural environmental protection scheme, not sure what GLAS is

    There is no more REPS. The scheme is now called GLAS

    I agree, could've been a lot worse! The experiment question was a bit dodgy
    otherwise it was all so straightforward! Wasn't expecting it to be that nice at all!

    I can't say I was as happy with the paper as you seem to be but it could've been a lot worse, I was expecting to only get a c1 but hopefully got a b2 in that! That's some going, fair play! I did 1, 3 option two, 4, 5, 6 & 7

    for part B, was it relevant to say anything that affects the yield or specifically was it specific to the actual harvest?
