    Yard concreting

    We were told by our local authority's planning team to submit as a prior notification via their planning portal. The application has an AGR suffix to show that it's agricultural general permitted development. Had to pay £170 or so. Needed it to show evidence for claiming concrete yard renewal grant.

    catchment sensitive concreting consents required

    Does anyone have any updates regarding the best way of proving planning permission is not required? (I'm going down the same rabbit hole as @CiderJan when I look on our local planning website.) I had a quick look at the claim procedure and I can't see the requirement to include proof, but...

    Pneumonia vaccine

    When we had an outbreak at around New year the vet took swab tests because there was some funding available to get them tested for free to identify strains. In the end the timing around Bank hols meant they were never tested as labs were closed. We did a firebreak dose of Bovilis intranasal rsp...

    Electronic NVZ templates

    We're not Wales but needed a nutrient management plan in the run up to an EA visit. Some programs haven't developed their grass module, some (including Planet) won't pull through the latest RB209 figures. Navigate Pro does all this and we're happy with it.

    Moving from CS agreement to SFI .

    We had the identical email. I phoned the rpa helpline and I'm waiting for a call back. The call handler thought the email was probably wrong, she couldn't understand why 2025 was mentioned at all.

    Calves that stop drinking

    We had laryngeal calf diptheria. (Not the ordinary calf diptheria which happens in older calves and show up as swollen cheek.) No symptoms - other than off milk, they just mouth the teat around and can't seem to bring themselves to drink because of sore throat. Try your other methods first but...

    All things Dairy

    Since our new parlour install we're still buying our dairy chemicals from delaval dealer. We'd like to shop around but we're not sure what the equivalent product would be - it's Cidmax, acid, the red barrel) and Ultraclean (the blue barrel, alkali) in 205 litre drums - any ideas, please?

    Barclays Bank KYC Refesh team ( Know your customer)

    Yes, dreadful experience, for both the farm account and then a repeat for a club account. Ridiculously complicated and many months of to and fro until they finally believed all partners exist. I did go into branch about it and watched them sitting on the phone to the KYC team instead. Accountant...

    Choosing Stewardship Mid tier vs SFI - have I understood hedge cutting restrictions correctly?

    We're part way through a mid teir application and getting slightly cold feet. We deliberately haven't selected any hedge options within mid tier because the block of land we're putting in we want to continue annual cutting. But reading the CS mid tier 'general requirements' section you are still...
