But cashflow decides when it gets paid for.

Just saying ther bps props up the entire rural economy , but probably shouldn't.

Be interesting to see when the 1st payments do trickle in.

Most of it goes in rent
It has ruined the landlord tenant relationship

Having just checked our online banking I am disappointed to say it’s not arrived here.

so sorry to get everyone’s hopes up by starting this thread.

maybe best we all come back at end of July like some folks have suggested and start getting exited about how little we will get then

I'm not rich. I just had the right conversations earlier in the season. Cashflow management is pretty much the most important part of a business. We're all told businesses fail more due to cashflow than profit. And my bank was ringing customers months ago about requirements.

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

I will be happy to be weaned off farmer dole tbh and i will not be signing up to any new ones. Take abit of power back and be able to tell most agencies to sod off.

Depends how long they have been at it,
Landlords grabbing subs on grass is relatively new

Yes, if she still has a few teeth

They work hard and play even harder the 2 young ones especially

Definitely not free money for me, I pay £90/acre to much to the landlord so I can claim bps.

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