Anybody else had their buffer strips and hedge lengths altered from last year ? And to top it off 1m length of buffer strip added in a couple of places WTF ![emoji85][emoji85]

Thinking I might have a go at mine later today... what new horrors like that above await? Any other changes one should be aware of?

 

[farmerm]

Just a reminder... If you are growing beans or other legumes and don't want to have to do so organically, then don't forget to remove them from your greening/EFA page, they are added by default!!

@farmerm How do you delete the beans area from the EFA section of the form? I cant see anywhere that asks if you want them included or not?

Probably just me being thick!

After you have generated you have the option to make changes to application - activate less entitlements, activate less EFA's etc. Click on EFA's and click on bean area and remove. Bit try and error I found but if done correctly will remove from EFA column.

Ah thanks for that @radar, hadn’t twigged that!

its in the same area where you can choose to not claim a field, also they chuck all Fallow into EFA so if you have more than you need and want to do anything with it before July you need to remove that from the EFA block as well

We've let a field to someone on a long tenancy so it's not in our control any more. How do I remove it from our claim form - can I do it online? I tried clicking the 'X' delete button on the 'Land Use' page but that simply deleted land use details and meant the area was 'undeclared'!
