BPS Q’S

[The walkmen]

Hi two quick BPS questions.
1. do we leave hedges/buffer etc on our claim form or delete them?
2. I get field names when I print out my form but how can I edit them as never see them online? ( using iPhone to make claim if this makes any difference)
Thanks

1) I left mine on right or wrong...!
2) I don't belive you can.

1. I will leave mine on. They aren't required now that EFA is no longer an issue.
2. I'd like to know the answer to this! My life would be so much easier if we had a column where we could put field names in. All mine are from the past when we had paper forms.

1. agreed mine are staying
2. i would like this as well as otherwise i have to write all the numbers down with the names so i can tally them all up

I open the land maps on one screen and fill in the details on another screen...

1. The hedges etc are on the field use screen but don't appear on the claim form.
2. Most are on the claim from the paper form days, I print off a copy of the claim and write them in for my own use.

Apparently you can't. They were inputted at some point in the IACS/SFP/BPS timeline and are now fixed in stone. Which is really annoying because fields change or get split up, or the RPA mapping operations often create random bits of land which are hard to identify without a name.

Can we still "activate less area" this year? I have more eligible area than entitlements and, unlike previous years, can't seem to get the table to reduce the area I'm claiming on to work.

 

[Brisel]

Why should that be a problem? You'll only get what you have entitlements for anyway.

They used to apply reduction penalities for "overclaims" but I think I heard there were changes to that this year. Thanks anyway.

Oh, Ok. I've never had this problem. It does tell you when you haven't declared it all within the farm or parcel.

Just noticed for the 1st time hedges are listed in the view parcel details. Trouble is it seems a inaccurate. Lots of stone walls & fences marked as hedges.
Anyone noticed this & what`s the relevance of marking hedges. Something coming in the future ?

I've been using hedges for EFA for years. They were always listed in the field parcels & I used the RPA figures round down heavily, especially where they had shown something that could upset an inspector.

OK, Mustn`t of being paying attention
