Management payment increase announced

[AndrewM]

Prime Minister just announced at nfu conference that they are increasing the management payment from £20 to £40 a Ha for first 50ha. not very exciting but better than a poke in the eye. Can't be out of money yet.

 

[Devil's advocate]

Two thousand pound, worth having. Better in my bank account than Rees Mogg, who got us all into this.

Credit where it's due: some appreciated help to acknowledge that the amount of reading up etc is not dependant on the size of the holding.

Does anyone know if one submits an app now for <50Ha, would a follow up one with the new options attract the balance?

 

[BrianV]

More like a sign of desperation & not knowing what else to do to get people to sign up to this farce.

 

[steveR]

And will said monies now be sucked up by an increase in fees from the various bods advising or doing the sampling/testing etc etc?

Has your farm business applied to SFI BrianV?

 

[Clive]

Not as yet sons still trying to work out whether worthwhile for all the agro, I reckon they will do something at some point.

An interesting comment and presumably personal observation. This evening I have just downloaded checked and accepted on behalf of clients three SFI agreements for three SBI. I completed these over the weekend and submitted Sunday. I am working on some more and will be submitting further applications in the next few days. Your comment is somewhat ironic as I was pushed by one of these clients to get his application in as he was convinced the money is about to run out given the enthusiasm shown by all his neighbours. Best wishes H

I’ve a feeling it has much to do with the region you work in, how many of your clients are livestock producers rather than arable farmers.

Yes you are correct, primarily arable (combinable crops).

You submitted SFI and approved in two days?

course they will, you have been farming long enough to learn that !!!!!! barstewards.

best ring up one of our land lords, met him today, to discuss what he could get, as he claims the sfp, he was rather shocked. Will have to admit, we got it wrong, he can get another £800.

 

[Still Farming]

Will Drakeford match this rates ???

 

[Hindsight]

You submitted SFI and approved in two days?

Yes, three applications. Submitted over the weekend. 11hectare, 140 hectare, 175 hectare. The offers were in the RPA portal when I checked this evening.

 

[jessop123]

I submitted on Friday and when I logged on again on Tuesday it was approved.
