Grassland into arable

[Chris123]

What is the process of turning permanent Grassland to arable regarding Sfi, the fields meet the criteria allowing me to plough been improved, had fert, sprays etc
looking to plough in spring but also in process of putting together Sfi application and wanted to put arable options on it, does the Sfi computer allow this or just flag that its grassland and don’t allow it?

You need to get the land cover changed. Used to be an RLE1 process - think you can do it online now.

You've to fill in forms to tell an office bound bureaucrat to be allowed to change what you do on your own land?

And brexit was supposed to reduce red tape?

Does nobody else realise what a pension paying godsend all this SFI bollox is for the leaches who call administration their life's work?

We're no better up here in Scotland, except they haven't yet finished dreaming up how they'll make their money from telling us how to save the planet

Yes

 

[Chris123]

Can I stick it down as arable now to put Sfi options on it for future although it won’t be ploughed till the spring? Anybody crossed that bridge yet?
Sfi will start November perhaps which year i don’t know

 

[Chris123]

Sfi start october

 

[Farmeraduk]

Yes

I have same problem. I think you need environmental impact assessment

yes the important bit is the land cover - not the crop . changing to TG1 will revert to PG1

i just phoned RPA and they changed it same day . far easier than forms !
