“When it comes to support payment, you need to know you’re in the right schemes that suit your farm, your business and you – and CLM help me navigate my way through this. Paperwork nowadays can also be a minefield, but I know they’ll get it done. CLM’s knowledge of BPS and stewardship schemes is second to none, and everyone there is a pleasure to deal with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”
