New Proposed Sheep Scheme

Hard Knocks

Under the scanning option it mentions feeding pre lambing
Is there any requirement or is it just record what you do

Haven't heard of dept ringing anybody about scanning, have heard of letters sent out for books for the early year measures completed at this stage and heard of no inspection taking place yet. At the local meetings in the spring the girl giving the talk stated that scanning and other measures were to be carried out after application date for 2017 onwards and not for 2016 lambing and when all paperwork is cleared then payment would issue.

Ah it was probably because the other measure we'd picked was the post weaning feeding so at the time if we hadn't done the scanning there wouldn't of been anything to record.

No not expecting to be paid earlier

Got the payment text from the Dept earlier, 80% of total amount paid.

If you don’t mind me asking had you your 2 measures completed and record book audited?

Journal saying today that 20k farmers have received 85% payment this week.....would that only include people doing scanning option that scanned in February 2017?......or does it include the many people with say March lambing flocks who would have scanned too early ,say Jan 2017....for the scanning measure to count this year.....so they have to wait till Jan coming for a scan to count for first year in Scheme....iykwim.

Went with scanning and minerals for this year.Scanned ewes in late December 2016 and a few along with ewe lambs in January 2017 so had no qualifying dockets for 2017 .Got the text re payment this morning so assume everything ok.Will just scan as normal this year as these ones will cover for the first year of the scheme.

Has everyone received their payment for this scheme? If I haven't heard anything should I be contacting them?
