Farm assured

Got your own drying and storage facility nick.
Yeah.
And £3-4 ton is on some crops
Barley was no diff at harvest
Beans were no diff
Rape was sold forward at £240 ton
Most our crops we have our own customers for
Just found new one for beans!
Somewhere non assured shouldn't be going yet the merchants see fit to send it there!!

Only thing might sway me is if I have to do the cattle then might as well do two together
Non assured black white bulls have limited demand.
Unless u sell them someone else who's assured month or so previous I guess

Been asked this and have no idea;
If you have multiple holdings, can some of them be FA and others not?
As I understand it, you must notify Sai/NSF/Acoura if you have more than 1 CPH.
I think the difficulty arises if stock are sold as FA from an unknown CPH - unknown to RT. That is a complete "no no".
