BPS 2019

I’m still in claim validation. Really biting now as I had a large fert bill to pay this month and the cash flow expected money in Dec. Grain had to be sold to make up the shortfall at £151/t when I expected to save it til later in the year or roll over into next for £170+. So already the lack of December payment has cost me £20 a ton on 230 ton of wheat !!!

Logged in and it’s all mapping changes.

complete waste of time as far as I can tell. A couple meter of hedge here plus or minus. Few extra/less square meters in various fields.

Net change is bugger all.

Bet that had an impact next payment.

At least if they are at this time of year then they will probably go through ok. I have had a few the weeks before the May deadline and that tends to mess stuff up

Still at claim validation. Got to find the money for rent by Friday, starting to feel a bit sick........
Any news on bridging payments @Guy Smith

I appreciate how tough it feels when 97% have been paid and you haven’t, I’ve been in that lonely place myself.

We are calling for bridging payments to start in February but the usual form is for Treasury to refuse to budge until their new financial year in April.

I hope you see something soon.
