They said it will be available to watch again, maybe contact them probs on Youtube.
Found it informative and they seemed to know what they were talking about

Spoke with RPA yesterday, couldn’t get a definitive answer about leaving our mid tier agreement so I was advised to email them requesting to leave with any benefits if we moved to SFI , I would then be told if any penalties may be applied .

Depends when the agreement started, if Jan 2021 or later you can leave without penalty at the end of a calendar year.

Thank you for that heads up. I only just spotted the post, so apologies for not replying sooner. I hadn't realised. The CS agreement I was referring to commenced Jan 2020. But I shall be helping out on a farm where there is a CS agreement started Jan 2021, so will look at that with the farmer. Cheers.

Mine also started on January 1st 2020 so I’ll report back with how I got on , good or bad .

As an aside can you also come out of CS wildlife offers (5 years) and go into SFI ?

Another email yesterday stating the same as the first original one saying that they are going to reduce May eligible area to 36h.
A phone call to them and really helpful chap very roughly worked out my over payment. Just over 2k. I just wish this had been spotted before so I didn’t have the over payment. 8/22 to 10/23 to say anything. I can’t argue with them so just have to accept it. Hope when this is wrapped up the SFI 24 will be ok and not have this scenario again.
