HELP 2020 BPS Quick Query

[Funny Farmer]

Got it all done at the last minute as per normal but.....

ON page 8 under "FIELD DATA SUMMARY" there are two total boxes that get automatically filled in.

Box 1 says " Total maximum area eligible for BPS (ha) - 96.7154ha"

Box 2 says "Total eligible area you want to claim payment for (ha) (Total of C8) - 96.9354ha"


There's no under or over declared fields, I don't understand why its different or if it even matters , don't want to go to town trying to find the issue if it's not going to be a problem.

They won't be eligible. Have you reduced your area for something that is not permissible this year e.g. a muck heap >1 year old?

Land size always reduces, even if not sold any seems normal with the relavant agencies too.

I thought if the C8 figure was bigger on a parcel it would flash up the "over declared" warning?

Anyway I just looked back and last year it was over a ha out but I seemed to be paid the right amount so maybe its not important.

I know what you mean I seem to lose bits too - maybe with sea levels rising there's less to go round!

Not to do with this but on one parcel there is a grass track down the side of an arable field, RPA mapped it as a strip of permanent pasture and pay for it - fair enough. On another field with an identical track they mapped it as "Track - Natural Surface" and list it as ineligible. I tried putting an RLE1 to amend it but they didn't do and life's to short to argue for what its worth - just annoys me how they get heavy when we make mistakes but no one cares when they do.

What about a failed spring barley crop being sown with kale rape sheep feed, do I change land use before midnight.

What was growing in the field 15th May? That's what needs to go on the form. Planting it with something else is going to fine - you still meet the 3 crop rule etc regardless?

only drilled last Monday so barley on 15th of May and still technically is until it’s sprayed off

2 crop rule isn't it this time? And yes what ever was in the ground on the 15th May is what counts.
