They may have to rethink when the take up for SFI is negligible

I think you are all jumping the gun atm


The recent announcement last week from the Rural Payments Agency means that 50% of payments for 2022 BPS is going to be paid from July onwards.

This move is to help farmers meet the challenge of rising production costs.

Key information you need to know:

• This first payment is to be half of the Basic Payment, as it will be half of the assessed value of the claim as it stands in processing in July.
• Reductions should have been applied by this point but their effect on the final payment might change later in the year as the claim comes to be fully validated.
• Payments may run from July and through August. Claimants should allow some time before raising concerns that they have not had their first payment.
• The balance of the payment will then be paid from December to June in the usual payment window.

We are planning to make BPS 2022 payments in 2 instalments. Farmers with eligible applications will receive half of their payment from the end of July, and the rest from December. Bringing forward half of this year's BPS payment gives farm businesses an advance injection of cash.9 May 2022

RPA sent an email earlier this week, saying...

"We will start to make advance payments in July and expect to issue the majority of advance payments by the end of July".

You think your landlord will be letting you pay £90/ac less in 5 years time?

Wouldn’t think so. Someone would come in a offer more than me in a heart beat.

1st instalment due from tomorrow onwards I believe.

many bets on when it actually arrives?

June as usual

 

[Overby]

Well then.....anyone paid?

 

[Scholsey]

Well then.....anyone paid?

anyone? still claim validation here.

 

[Fergieman]

anyone? still claim validation here.

I don't think the online status will change. Its an estimated early payment to be squared up when the validations are completed for the final payment.

Still can't get my head round how the government decided we need half early of something that they decided we don't need at all.

@Janet Hughes Defra please see above... over 60 reactions... Bad politics... why would our bank managers and accountants care???
