It is Open Farm Sunday today and we are at Oteley Farm Estate in Ellesmere to explain what we do for the estate and other land owners. Hope to see you there!

The RPA have just announced changes to the BPS de-linked payment dates.

Approximately 50% of the de-linked payment will be made from 1st August and the second instalment to be paid from 1st September rather than December. This has been done to help farmers with their cashflow following the impact of the wet weather.

The amount received this year will be approximately 50% of your original BPS payment prior to the transition period. For any further information, or assistance, please contact us at Williams Round.

New hedgerow management regulations approved

What the regulations mean for you:
- A 2 metre buffer strip with green cover must be established and maintained.
- No cultivation or application of pesticides or fertilisers within the 2-metre buffer strip
- A hedgerow cutting and trimming ban from 1 March to 31 August (inclusive)

The cutting and trimming ban will start immediately. The buffer strip rules will begin from 1 July 2024 for grassland and from the first harvest after 1 July 2024 for land which is currently cropped.

It’s that time of year again! The BPS annual claim may be a thing of the past but Higher & Mid Tier Stewardship, Classic ELS/HLS Scheme claims and related landuse codes need to be updated and submitted by the 15th May.

Doing this will ensure that your annual revenue payments for the 2024 scheme year will be made alongside your second part de-linked payments in early December. 

If you are an existing client we will be in touch in the coming weeks. If you are unsure, or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the office and we will check everything is covered.
