reaching 166ppk and £1012. A decent 700kg plus Charolais from Dave Harris, Stoke Fleming fetched 146ppk (£1065) with

As I write this month’s Rural Reflection I believe every farmer is outside making silage during our first week

of hot summer weather. We have now got through the Basic Payment Scheme deadline here in the office

so all we can do now is hope that payments will be received on time later this year.

As Basic Payment Scheme applications leave our desks, Countryside Stewardship applications start and I

would urge any of you that are not currently within a stewardship agreement to look at Countryside

Stewardship to see if it suits your farming system.

There are three main elements to the scheme being Mid-Tier, Higher-Tier and Capital Grants, with

Catchment Sensitive Farming incorporated into these. Catchment Sensitive Farming is targeted to specific

areas and aims to reduce water pollution and offers grants to roof over livestock gathering areas, roof over

silage and slurry stores and concrete yard areas along with further items that will reduce water pollution.

If you are looking for a one-off capital grant there is a maximum grant of £10,000 available, however if you

are in the target area and also apply for a mid-tier five year agreement there is a larger amount available

and we have applied for over £100,000 worth of capital grants on behalf of clients.

The Mid-Tier agreement includes management options suitable to both grassland and arable farms and

there are further specific options for woodland. The application period is open now and application packs

need to be requested by the 31st July 2017 so if you are interested in applying please speak to one of the

Kivells professional team. Applications need to be submitted by the 30th September 2017 with new

agreements starting on 1st January 2018.

We are still busy carrying out market appraisals on farms and land within the office and we have recently

launched Folly Farm onto the open market. Folly Farm is situated close to the town of Crediton and is a

well-equipped, commercial dairy farm with ample livestock accommodation and a super run of productive

grass and arable land. There has been great interest in this farm along with many other properties that we

have on the market so if you are thinking of selling please contact one of the Kivells team for a free market

appraisal.
