Life is strange, we all thought these Labour ministers were terrible for agriculture but none were as dangerous to farming as that lying little toad Eustace!

Thank you very much for pointing out to George Eustice that Land Agents are not the right people to advise farmers on their regenerative journeys.. There are some incredibly learned members on this forum and thread alone who walk rings around land agents... never charge for their consultancy from other farmers because they havent got a " ticket" to do so and sometimes get so frustrated on a monday night listening to farmer twaddle about Regen techniques that they resort to shouting...

Keep up the good work @holwellcourtfarm and those of us in the background with no diplomatic skills ( where i need to stay!) will lobby for the same messages to Gov...

SAI Global, aka Red Tractor have already adopted policing HSE farm requirements and EA stuff, although that changes on a daily basis as food security claws it’s way up the political ladder, on the back of Putin’s war.

hi on an SFI application for intermediate grass standard
there is a 3.76 ha field of permanent grass with 0.53 ha arable cover crop in corner.This is correctly shown in my RPA log in for single farm application and is correct.
the SFI application on line tool includes the whole field,3.76 ha as SFI intermediate acceptability,and does not exclude the arable 0,53ha.it is therefore paying me for an arable plot at a higher level,when i do not want to enter the arable standard.there appears to be no method of deducting the arable area.
Does this mean that I cannot therefore apply for the grassland intermediate standard on any permanent grass field that has an arable plot in it.If correct i have just had 56 ha of permanent grass excuded from SFI?
Please advise,many thanks.

We've a parcel of which half is arable land cover, and the other half permanent pasture. Guessing we won't be able to claim SFI on it unless we split the field into two parcels. Presume it's because the DEFRA computer system can't cope, although I find that strange because it is identified as two land cover types on the RLR.
@Janet Hughes Defra
It looks like the Janet Hughes you managed to tag only lasted a day on here in 2014. Sensible lady.
Thanks the correct Janet Hughes is now dealing with the query.
As expected the RPA suggest that despite the full field parcel info,of the area split between grass and arable , being already on the RLR mapping system, inorder ,to apply for SFI the computer picks up the whole area of a field regardless of its different content and therefore it is necessary to create new parcels on RLE 1, turning one field into two to separately show the arable area and the grass area so the SFI application can lock onto the appropriate type of parcel being claimed.More admin!
