I think you are right. I was thinking of lamb creep with deccox in. I think poultry feed with anticoccidiostat is different.

Suitably Qualified Person. The most vague title I've ever heard 🤣

I used to be an SQP - in my day it was a two day (I think!) course followed by a written assignment. It's overseen by AMTRA. They've since changed the categories I think so some SQPs are only qualified for, say small animals or horses. It's not overly onerous. There is a requirement to do CPD...

We use CXCS for H&S and find them practical and sensible.

In fact I think they do - from what I've seen on the Facebook group there is quite a lot of info to be handed over monthly.

It's a capital claim in a mid tier agreement. Is yours a standalone capital grant? (The revenue claim is the annual claim for ongoing field options rather than capital works like fencing, water, tracks etc)

Check the requirements for that option in your agreement. Or look it up on the manual, online for the relevant year. Don't quote me on it but I don't think invoices need to be sent in for fencing, you just need to keep them in case of an inspection. Re photos, i just took one in each field of...

We phoned and asked... It's 1 wheel drive...

Have a look at the free prints app. For the price of the postage you can get 45 photos a month printed 'free'.

This happened to us buying heifers from Ireland once. Our half load was shared with someone else and when they were put in lairage at the dock two swapped pens! We didn't find out until months later. I think (it's a while ago!) we contacted the haulier and tracked down the other farm. Then we...

I don't think payment is dependant on C&D forms. I know I've had it before where they wouldn't remove restrictions because we hadn't sent back C&S forms and we've definitely never had payment delayed on reactors.

It's probably the c&d form from when you had the reactors at the original breakdown. You should c&d wherever you've isolated them. There is a box to tick if you isolated them at grass and then you are supposed to leave it destocked for a certain length of time. Six months I think

CS is a five year agreement. The organic conversion period is two years, hence the two year term on OR1/OR3. I would imagine it's mandatory to follow up with OR1 and OR3 for the remainder of the agreement. There are plenty of hoops to jump through for organic conversion, including inspections...

With the caveat that employers can stipulate that annual leave cannot/may not be taken at a busy time of year. We state March in our employees' written statement of employment particulars. It's use it or lose it, I don't think the employer can buy it off you. But with enough notice you should...

I was thinking of a physical folder too. I'm usually a digital documents person but I feel like I need it all in one place.
