The precedent has now been set! The land reports that two trials are underway in NSW paying farmers for protecting the environment. 37landholders in the Liverpool Plains Land Management Committee's area have been invited to set a price for their services to the community for work they want to do to reduce salinity, improve water usage and increase biodiversity. The farmers are putting up $3 for every $1 funding they receive.
Naturally "native vegetation" means trees in the language of the herd. It's a short distance to the point where grasses are included in the definition for funding purposes.
