Hi Jo,
Lou-D is correct, the best place to get info on the Entry level scheme is the DEFRA website, there should be somewhere on the site that will allow you to send for the E.L.S handbook, if you like a little light reading.
To explain it here on the forum would be like writing an essay, the E.L.S encompasses all aspects of farming & the enviroment and even introduces archaeology into the mix for good measure.
When its all sorted out and running smoothly it will have a positive effect on british wildlife & should make our farmland a little less sterile & more wildlife friendly.
