[QUOTE="Exmoor Farm, post: 8799256, member: 175513"] I understand the principle of farmers in SFI having flexibility to decide how best to achieve the action’s aims. However in the case of SAM1 (Soil Organic Testing) we will need more guidance on what is considered a ‘small’ parcel. It is inevitable that the RPA will issue guidance on this for their inspectors in the future. Once the precedent has been set that the RPA consider a certain area (like 5ha for example) to be the limit of a ‘small’ parcel, then it will become black and white. You’ll have thousands of farmers (who out of fear of falling foul of this subjective rule) do not test soils on parcels and thousands more who end up being financially penalised for testing too ‘big’ a parcel.
