Farm inspections

[Hfd Cattle]

Is it just us or is it everyone .
We are being plagued with farm inspections at the moment .
We have had 3 different 'concrete ' inspections , I eartag check, 1 passport check and while I'm now sat waiting for another inspector to arrive for a 'guttering and rainwater ' claim I get a phone call of an ADHB inspector wanting to come tomorrow to view our sheep records .

Anyone else getting this ?

what does AHDB inspect ? what’s a concrete inspection ?

other than the red tractor leaches i can’t recall we had any kind of inspection? livestock seems a lot more monitored than arable ?

We have had concrete put down under the farm improvement scheme .
AHDB inspect animal records .

What is a concrete inspection?

From the RPA . They come to check that you have put the correct area and depth of concrete down for which you claimed for .

well if you got free money for it the least you can do is let them inspect - i would swap my current concrete bill for as many inspections as they like !

As above. Even in the good old days my dad was getting inspected for various grants he had for cement rendering calf pens, milking palour installations etc.

Try Dairying.

Sometimes it feels like my dairy company doesn't really want anymore milk. All they seem to want theses days is more data.

Really? Do you not mean APHA or some such? Never heard of AHDB doing inspections.

Possibly .....it was hard to hear on the phone what organisation it is but it's a company doing it called Hallmark who are actually doing the inspection . .....anyway it's sheep records !

No problem with the inspections but why not get them all co-ordinated and done at the same time .

Are you FA? It’s my understanding that the authorities take less interest in certain inspections if they know you are.

 

[Hfd Cattle]

Yes farm assured at the moment but it all depends on the next inspection . If they ask a load of futile waste of time questions like last time they will just be told to stick it!

I think that’s all a myth judging by the amount of inspections we have had in recent years.

I’m not FA, and have had only one visit in the last ten years.
