[QUOTE="Meadow Brown, post: 2259498, member: 18252"] This is from the latest BPS 2016 scheme rules and relates to temporary grassland going [B]back[/B] to temporary grassland after an Agri-environment scheme ends. [URL]https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/505559/BPS_2016_scheme_rules_FINAL__DS_.pdf[/URL] [B] Land in agri-environment schemes [/B] Arable land that is taken out of production to be used for one of the following agri-environment options is still treated as ‘arable’ land for BPS. It will remain 'arable' land while it's being used for the agri-environment option and will not become permanent grassland. The time land is used for one of these options doesn’t count when working out whether temporary grassland becomes permanent grassland after 5 years [B]Example [/B] A farmer has a land parcel which was temporary grassland for 3 years. The parcel was then taken out of production under an agri-environment scheme option for 5 years (see tables below). Once the land comes out of the option, it will still be classed as temporary grassland (which is arable land). At the next BPS deadline after the land comes out of the option it will be counted as the fourth year of grassland (not the ninth).
