Are SFI24 applications taking longer to process.Trying to embrace SFI across the farm system, rushed around to get an application in for potential Sepetmeber start but nothing for 3 weeks. Now we need to ammend it and can't as it's "checking application." @JanetHughes @jojabaker

How is it acceptable that @Suff_highways have allowed 3 out of 4 roads into elmsett village to be shut on the same day. With no warning to local businesses. Ineptitude? Stupidity? Or just a compeat lack of understanding for the Rural community?

Running a business in the countryside is hard enough let alone having your only HGV access shut with no warning. @suffolkcc and @Suff_highways showing compleat and utter ineptitude and contempt for agriculture in the county. @jcartlidgemp why does this keep happening?

If you select the no insecticide option for SFI 23, what would the outcome be if thresholds were met and you had to spray to avoid significant crop damage? Obviously you would lose the 拢45ha but would it stop there? @JanetHughes @jojabaker?

Is there any clarification available on this @JanetHughes or @jojabaker? Presently, pilot participants are severely disadvantaged compared to if we had taken out a mid tier agreement instead?

Why are SFI pilot participants not allowed access to the full range on capital grants available to mid tier aplicants? We were promised that we would not be put at a disadvantage by being in the pilot, but this is clearly not the case. @JanetHughes @jojabaker?

Dont order a @DellUK computer unless you expect to get an expensive bag of cat litter instead. Nothinv forthcoming from dell as to how they are going to resolve this and customer service is a robot and hangs up on you. Poor show from @Dell

We are trying to apply for a grant for a rainwater harvesting tank under the scheme. A error on the @Ruralpay site keeps failing the aplication. Countless phonecalls to rpa and several emails over the last 4 months and we still can apply. @KapilaSandy can we have some help.

Hi @suffolkcc why is it that its acceptable to shut roads with no prior warning. 8 lorrys were supposed to access a farm down this road today and now have to drive miles out of there way down unsuitable roads. @BBCSuffolk @Suff_highways @jcartlidgemp

Yes another example of piss poor highway maintenance planning making running a business in rural areas more difficult.

Our visit to Anthony Redsell鈥檚 in Faversham was a delight. They have the only modern hop picker machines in the U.K. where hops are bought in from the vine, stripped by the machines before drying, baling and sent to the breweries
