The requirement for a claimant to prove their status as an Active Farmer is prescribed by Regulation (EU) No. 1307/2013

I must be one of the not many then, there is an overdraft facility on the account but I have never used it

Nothing wrong with that. We are the same.

The fact that 99% of the population think that it's ok to borrow money because it's cheap will ultimately bankrupt the country right now!
People don't get paid for one days work and they want compensation, a pretty bad state of affairs.

Wife just saw coppers driving about with a load speaker thingy on the roof. Not actively shouting at anyone but I've never seen that before..... Still seeing same people meet up on their cars for a dog walk.
I seen police at 4 am driving about and shes just seen them, not airport police either (can spot them as they got orange beacons) they are definitely on the lookout.....

Seen a news update that Yorkshire police are using random checkpoints to try and stop non-essential journeys.

Coronavirus: Police get new powers to enforce protection

They can order people to go home, leave an area or disperse, with a range of fines for rule breakers.

According to the wife I dress in rags & am a miserable barsteward, so I should pass OK!

Even though I am not ( a farmer that is)

 

[A1an]

Define "farmer"

 

[kmo]

Passenger side foot well full of old market catalogues, plus a pile of fliers from farming companies that get left under the windscreen wiper during sales.
Length of Alkathene in the back for "persuading" cattle, along with a few lengths of chain for securing trailer back gates to loading bays.
Along with market boots and coat.
A bottle jack, a wrench, some bits of sleeper and some tyre sealant ready for when the trailer blows a tyre, along with a few cake bags to lie on

Would the percentage of bale twine and red diesel in the farm pickup not be enough ?
