Stewardship Payments for 2018

[YorkshireAndrew]

Received the 25% for 2018 this morning.
We’re now due 75% for 2019.
Let’s hope this comes in an orderly fashion.

Same situation here , they’ve given themselves until December 31st , we’ll see . [emoji849]

Spoke to them last week and they said that they weren’t obliged to pay until the end of the year.

 

[Pie face]

Anyone checked and not been paid like me?

 

[Quaddog]

[Timbo]

Looks like just 2018 for me

 

[Farma Parma]

Having watched what was said in the committee in parliament a couple of weeks ago i think they would of had their b**ls nailed to the wall if these payments hadn’t come in July!
Off to check bank now!

Got an amount approx 100% of our 2018 payment, today does this mean wait 12 months for 2019 money to appear?

Very likely. NE / RPA going to be in deficit now til they can balance the books ( can they even do that ?) - gov arent going to advance them any 2019 money sooner than they possibley have to

 

[ffukedfarmer]

All of 2018 in this morning too. Very welcome indeed. Hopefully won’t be 12 months until 2019 arrives

 

[haymaker80]

All of our 2018 payment in this morning too, looks like they must be having a good bash at making the payments today

 

[Farma Parma]

No seriously to everyone that's well overdue your payments i hope you get it by the end of this month
that's been such a relief this morning.

Good luck folks

I think others are also involved. I was reliable informed that Reading University.......who do a costing service on behalf of DEFRA by analysing sample farmers accounts.......... had written their report to DEFRA which included the state of farming due to the sheer lack of Nature Payments by the RPA.

Apparently this came as a surprise to DEFRA as they hadn't realised !!

Good Lord, mines in as well. Wasn’t expecting that as we had an inspection couple of months ago and there were a couple of discrepancies on margin areas.
