    BPS RPA Greening penalties backdated

It seems that the exemption is not applicable if you have arable land of more than 30Ha, this is not just the arable crop in the ground but must include TG which is less than 5years old and as such this TG is considered Arable land so the...

    BPS RPA Greening penalties backdated

    When the greening part of the BPS was introduced in 2015 I submitted my BPS with an application for exemption on the basis of the rules as I interpreted them for less than 30Ha in arable and more than 75% in grass. I was paid in full for that year and each following year until 2018 when...
