Fag packet calculation time....

If region 1 is £15 a hectare, region 2 is getting around the £46 a hectare

Anyone confirm or smoke a more accurate brand of tobacco?

It is £15.50 for region 1,£28 for region 2, £11 pound for region 3 plus £30 a calf and £20 a hogg the balance is the lfass top up. These are approximate figures .
So have we all at once been paid the convergence, the LFASS top up, the calf scheme money plus the extra per head?????

I got my letter for the BPS top up balance today and on the RPA website my calf money is ready for payment. Not sure about LFASS top up as I only got my actual payment a few weeks ago, unless this is last years top up?

But the money today I'm sure is just the convergence payment. I would imagine giving ScotGovs inability to pay us properly with just one scheme like LFASS their heads would probably explode trying to put 3 payments into 1

I have received a (non life changing but very welcome) payment today. I have not received BPS, Calf or LFASS top up

Coll crofter, its rude to talk about money so I will say its none of my business before you do!! -
when you say its a lot of money, are we talking a a second hand quad bike, a new tractor or enough to buy a house amount of money?!
Don't get me wrong, this is money we are all due and we should have had years ago, its not cheap farming in your part of the world.
