Can't like that. ^^^^. But have to agree. In fact the only reply we have ever had from RPA in twelve months has gone to our MP.
Four signed for letters and one phone call - ignored.
Appalling.

I think it did this last year if you still had undeclared items on your claim.
Yes thanks.
I realised there was a small area of undeclared land. It's actually a bit of land that's been given to the village for recreation, but despite sending in RL1E form last year , it hasn't been taken off permanently, so I was just not declaring it.

Sorry if this has been posted earlier,
Just started doing our BPS application today, the first time i've done one on my own, but have a couple of questions:
I've entered our current cropping which consist of 4 crops of similar areas (Winter wheat, WOSR, Winter Barley and Spring Barley), yet when I generated a report, it says the Crop Diversification Rule has not been met?
Also, I want to take our EFA away from N fixing crops and onto hedge rows, in which section do we do this, do I add a feature on the cropping screen or do I get the fields list with maps up and draw them onto the maps?
TIA

Have you done what i did, and left a bit of land undeclared.
I rang the RPA and they must have the ability to see what you've done, as the techy bloke said what I'd done, which resolved it.

Yes, 2 tiny pieces undeclared, i just been reading through and that seems to be the problem...will rectify that tomorrow,
Just need help on the hedges now, how to go about it

I did all that last year. Just get your head around what's an adjacent hedge, a half hedge or full hedge, and a hedge can be both a half and an adjacent hedge at the same time.

@Rob Holmes
On the Land Use screen, select field, click '+' , decide code (BF02- Hedges, BF11 Half Hedge or BF12 Adjacent Hedge), enter code, enter length (metres).
Then repeat for each field/hedge.
Hope this helps.

So do I have to manually measure the hedge lengths from the paper maps or do it online?
...if on paper, that maybe a problem as RPA still have them from last years dispute

Measure how you like but make sure you under declare a bit. If they inspect you'll come out safe then.

Depends which method your happy with but needs to be as accurate as possible.
Personally I used a handheld satellite device (this is what RPA use during inspection) whilst riding on quad.

Would Google Earth be accurate enough?

Never used it, just had a look, seems ok, but must stress the choice is yours!!!

Probably if you subtract a fudge factor for safety.
I wonder how the inspectors measure hedge runs? It's EU policy for field areas to be measured "plan form" and not take account of slopes. Given this how do they allow for sloping hedges actually being longer?
I used the online measuring tool. I'm ok though , as have twice as many hedges as I need .

You can also remove land parcels on the rural payments system in the "land"
section -"transfer land". There's a drop down menu this year to simply remove ( last year we had to delete it to a dummy SBI). I'm not sure if this updates the land use though so you still might have an undeclared notification.

If you claimed on line last year, there is no paper option.
I've just got an email, wishing me happy Easter (Not really)
It asked 'How are you getting on?" and pointed out that 10,000 applications had already been received.
I'm tempted to reply, sort out the missing entitlements from 2016, and I'd get on a whole lot better.
But you can't swear at a machine can you.
