The best thing I can do is find some cattle to sell to someone who has received their bps. That’s the nearest I will get to seeing any bps for the foreseeable. Haha ?

What do you call big or small
The average per farm is somewhere about £28,000. I would call big over £100,000. Mine varies from about £10,000 to £15,000. Over the last 10 years or so,i think the bigger claimants of £50,000+ have had one hell of an advantage over everyone else.They have either bought other farms,put up massive sheds,or invested the money off farm.I would probably have done the same if in that fortunate position. Traditional farmers with small BPS are starting to suffer around me now.Especially those that have tried to keep up and borrowed money on smaller acreage. Diversification like horse manages seem to be the worst.Banks pulling the plug on these now.There will be more to follow.

Well there’s a lot of small claims as under 25k that will be paid first then they hold the bigger ones back. That’s just going by who gets paid round here
I don’t believe that by my own experience or my neighbours who will all be over the figure you stated and have been paid on time.

Something to be said for being below average then.
The wage has arrived.

There are commons on many of the bigger claims around here and subsequent delays
Bigger claims are left as NFU figures show at the end of the first payment window high % of claimants paid with lower % of the pot

No i'm not an NFU member.
Computer column totals error it seems.
The claim is exempt from greening rules, as i expected and as per
the 2019 guide book (y)
Exemptions - who doesn't need to follow the crop diversification rule? Farmers with less than 10 hectares of arable land do not need to do anything differently – they meet the crop diversification rule automatically. Farmers with 10 or more hectares of arable land don’t need to follow the crop diversification rule if any of the exemptions below apply to them. Crop diversification exemption
1 The crop diversification rule doesn’t apply if more than 75% of the eligible agricultural land on the holding is:
• permanent grassland
• temporary grassland
• used for the cultivation of crops grown in water (such as watercress) for 6 months or more in a calendar year
• a combination of the above

Exemptions – who doesn’t need to follow the EFA rule? Farmers with 15 hectares or less of arable land don’t need to do anything differently – they meet the rule automatically. Farmers with more than 15 hectares of arable land don’t need to declare EFAs if either of the exemptions below apply to them. EFA exemption 1 Farmers don’t have to declare EFAs if more than 75% of the eligible agricultural land on the holding is:
• permanent grassland
• temporary grassland
• used for the cultivation of crops grown in water (such as watercress) for 6 months or more in a calendar year
• a combination of the above

happy days..:):unsure:
Don't want to wee on your chips, but i met the exemption last year when the 30Ha was removed. Wasn't paid for greening and penalty applied. Luckily met the crop diversification bit anyway so it was only the efa. Raised a query on 3rd dec, still in their pile every time I ring.

I bombarded them with rle's and put lots of hedges on for 2019, even though I shouldn't have needed to.

Anyone in same position?
