Small Dairy Farmers Scheme.

[Beef farmer]

It should go to someone who's 45 with no one over 50 on the paetnership , got 2 herds one with robots on heavy land and three kids who's organic and has been for 19 years who's hung like a horse.

Guess which one(s)counts me out!

Jeeeez your only 45? Tough paper round?

You having a laugh?

Not really!

Animal welfare is demonstrably better on supermarket dairy farms unlike on organic farms.

A chap I was speaking to, well connected and certainly in the know, let it slip that he had seen a document which indicated that this EU scheme would be at worse, only cost neutral to the UK treasury. He believed much of the payments would be recouped in reduced tax credits, additional VAT on an "impulse" purchases or extra income tax liabilities.

I doubt that to be the case for the scale of farm that is eligible. That was a very deep hole in income for 2-3 years and many will have had taxable losses, let alone using their personal allowance, so will not have paid any tax and are still climbing back out of that hole. They can't afford 'impulse' purchases and were disadvantaged by changes to the tax credit system a few years ago.

I filled out our form this afternoon I wouldn't call it difficult if you have the figure s to hand

 

[William Mellor]

£8.5m / 42k = 202 applicants, am I right in thinking the budget is £8.5m

I filled out our form this afternoon I wouldn't call it difficult if you have the figure s to hand

jeez it will be over full if you lot keep signing up, I won't get my 42Ks

 

[Manney]

Could probably squeeze a couple of holidays out of the 42k with a bit of spare change to pay the tax bill

At least it shows the wheels are turning!

Finally had an official email back. All my supporting documents are correct, (sent every statement as we changed from ltrs to kgs in Jan 2016) also to let me know they're using a kg/Ltr conversion of 1.03.

Looks like I'm in!

Surely just the March 16 milk statement will be sufficient for Arla producers as it states the rolling 12months production in kg?

Probably, but I thought it better to err on the side of caution. The rpa love to trip us up.
