Sfi rang back today after I called again.
Advice to me was let it run till end of year and then switch over then as that's the time they plan to let them merge as such.

Said if stop cs now they can not say when I can start sfi as don't know how long to cancel cs.
Plus loose all this year's cs payment.
So bolloxed really. I would get more money in sfi, but loose 6-10 months cs if switch now.

Frigging joke...

1st Jan swap over to CS/SFI seems logical if we havent all gone bust between now and then🤣

We are in exactly the same boat. Plus they have pee'd me off because last year the 5 year ley that we had AB8 in the corner of became 6 years (despite the fact that we re-seeded the ley, but without an interim crop) so I correctly but stupidly reclassified it as PP / PG01 so they have chucked out our AB8 payment for last year as this. 'AB8 is incompatible with PG01'. It was compatible when it was drilled, as it was TG01, and the AB8 is only 3 bloody years old. Very annoying.

well any field that has a track in it i can not enter into sfi... (oh and a field where we have old building remains)
all the option boxs are grey and dont work.
The tracks have always been on the SFP stuff.
rest of field is arable.
if you click on land and click on field on the map, the tracks are on with their size.
the SFI knows there is a track as its on the system.
BUT... apparently i got to send a form in to have land use changed???

how much this IT system cost?
