    Got original text and replied Yes.
    Got another today and replied again. Got no acknowledgement either time.
    Logged into agfood but couldn't find a link there to extend.

    Any help or pointers appreciated

    People should be careful with their reply. The correct reply is DAFM Y, not just Y. I know a couple of lads that nearly got caught out

    Maybe my phones just old,i got a message delivered report after text was sent.

    So is it open for them to claw back from the previous 5 years for any penalties maybe suffered in this next 12 months?

    I replied correctly and got a second text yesterday the same as the first.
    Surely in this day and age the Dept should have replied confirming your reply.

    Well mike as ever with the Department of ag, we've got 3 days from receipt of a text message to reply "y or n". granted a bit longer to do it online. Although anyone on here who's looked,can't seem to find the link box??

    What was issued in a letter last wednesday says alot,while not saying anything at the same time.

    After 5 years of a commitment in a environmental scheme i personally would like more than 3 days to a maximum of 15 to consider rejoining it for a year.

    Especially so when my 2020 glas payment has been withheld after a satellite inspection. I received no correspondence from the Department on this as to whether or not there is a issue needing resolving at my end.

    Thats only the tip of a iceberg for farmers across the country. i don't know if you or bendy are in the ifa,but i am, so i don't mind telling you i agree with bendy on the ifa and head in the sand.

    There is a link to GLAS on the Dept login page, select 'scheme to enter', you'll then have three options (GLAS, 2 and 3). I'm in one so I clicked GLAS, then click box 'Glas 1 proposal', then click 'extend application', if yo have already done so it will show up as SMS response Y and the date you did it.

    Over 90% have replied to text, so most people have no problem. Yes am an IFA member, but not very active.

    Maybe, just for starters they could have negotiated a better payment for the extra year.......Are civil servants on the same pay they were six yrs ago?

    Lucky to get any payment I would think. Civil servants are certainly not on same money as six years ago. Getting another rise next year with no inflation. How this can be justified I don't know. In fairness Glas is money for jam as the saying goes. I haven't heard of any inspections. Very few people that were suppose to have sheep have them .Dept could easily check this from sheep census and a few visits to commonage. No need to meet farmers . No problem with social distancing on a mountain. Compare this to the BEAM Scheme where every applicant is being checked and money will have to be repaid if 5% reduction in organic fertilizer isn't achieved

    A guy I rent a shed from had a glas inspection.
    A first cousin had a glas inspection.
    I had 2 inspections for glas this year alone.

    Same as that, plenty soft talk but penalised whe report came back. After glas and reps do we think farmed environment is better or worse now than 20 years ago (outside of other pollution sources) For myself I think a large no of farmers want easy money without doing too much and countryside is worse off now. Hedgerows
    being the main wildlife habitat here are much worse now than ever from what I see.

    Hard blame them, trapped in a rigged system, income to put food on their own table has to come from somewhere.
