Just checked and mine you have to complete during January showing the state on the first of the month.
They dont, but woe betide you if they come a calling and its not done, doesnt matter if its BS as long as you have a bit of paper

Don't have that option over the border. Is it really a problem signing and dating a paper book anyway, to say that there were no problems?

Because you date it when you sign it.
IIRC, failing to have a completed SPR is the most common failure on cross compliance inspections. When my inspector was listing the things I'd need to make available, she said she was quite impressed that I even knew what one was.
It must be one of the most unnecessary bits of paperwork of all, meaning absolutely diddly squat in the real world outside the office. But an easy loss of 3% of SFP if not done.
Ah, didn't realise. Far as I can see, they have a big database and those who don't do online soil protection here in England just bump themselves up the "lets go round and have a look" list.

I do mine on my soil management plan on a PDF. The girl that does my plan leaves a column for it and I am told that this is acceptable. I email a copy to my Natural England contact before the new year so I think that I am covered.

is there a correct place to sign the SPR book 2010 all I have done is signed and dated every change I have made in 2011/12/13 I see there is an actual place to sign the 2014 continuation sheet.

Is the Soil Protection Review the biggest load of red tape codswallop that DEFRA have ever written?
Farmers do have common sense, so this should be scrapped.
They could always pass this red tape booklet onto the Environmental Agency and English Nature, as it appears they like flooding everywhere by their miss management!!

Had an inspection in december and the first thing they wanted to see was the SPR.

Same this side of the border too. Lack of an updated SPR is supposed to be the most common X compliance failure IIRC. 3% of SFP gone in a stroke.

Good to have you on board @blondeagadvisor . Useful blog you have too (I had a look after you joined the other channel).
May I suggest you don't venture down into 'off topic' on here, your avatar will get a lot of the single lads excited, having been left disappointed recently.
