Mapping updates

Just an FYI RPA are making satellite mapping updates again

Already had one, fields always seem to get smaller, perhaps they are all shrinking in the damp?

Do they really, actually need to do this? What's the point?

Mine they just seem to change the size of all the PIF, depending on which bits of RAF concrete are showing at the time of the photos

Doing it now so they can map all the puddles as PIF ponds.....

They'll need a cloud knife here.

I have one field that seems to annually change size by 0.01 ha. One year a gain and the following a loss. I’m on a gain year this time
Seriously, what a waste of time.

I have 8 messages in my in box according to my email today, only one in the in-box though.

Quite. The requirement to remap every 3 years came from Brussels.

Whenever I muster some enthusiasm for ELMS, something like remapping or a 20 minute wait on the helpline comes along to dampen it down.

We used to get A3 maps sent by post or email that would show a large part of the farm on one page...... can you still get such a thing? Online they always seemed to be individual parcels which isn’t much good. Looking to print off and laminate for the lads to use as reference.

Must be the earth breathing that gives the heavage and shrinkages!

You can get a larger all field plan by applying for mid tier stewardship. The old RLR maps were really useful but ended in 2014 when the RPA updated the RLR system at time of switch to BPS from SPS. Shame really.

Many true word spoken in jest you know! We (townies) live in an oldish terraced property with gardens front and back and we started to suffer structural damage to the property due to shrinkage and heavage caused by weather and a whole line of Lombardy poplars twenty yards behind our property. It turned out that there were no foundations under the outriggers and it cost an arm and a leg to have them underpinned but insurance covered it.
