RURAL REFLECTION

DECEMBER 2020

Well suddenly we see ourselves in December and hopefully many of you will now have received your BPS payment! Some farmers have also received their Countryside Stewardship payment alongside their Basic Payment which is an added bonus. Looking back over the year, it has definitely been a different one with aspects nobody could have planned for but over all of the Kivells office and departments, we continue to keep busy and we thank all of our clients for their continued support whilst we work in a COVID secure way.

Having recently returned from maternity leave, it is good to be back in the office and get up to date with all of the on goings and see many clients at market. Within the office we are seeing the Countryside Stewardship Applications applied for back in the summer being approved, mainly the smaller ones at present but compared to previous years we are seeing them come through a lot earlier. The Small Countryside Productivity Grants that were applied for back at the beginning of November have also started to trickle in, which is looking promising and those businesses that have been approved for a grant, have until 31st March 2021 to receive and pay for their items before making a claim. The Agricultural Bill became Law on 11th November, which sets the scene for the 7 year agricultural transition period between 2021 – 2027. This sees the phasing out of the Basic Payment Scheme, delinking of Direct Payments (BPS) and the introduction of the New Environmental Management Scheme. DEFRA have outlined the key changes with the main aspects in 2021 being;

1) The removal of greening rules – crop diversification, Ecological Focus Areas (EFA’s) and the permanent grassland rules will no longer be relevant but this will not affect the overall payment received as the greening

money will instead be added to the BPS entitlement value.

2) The first reductions to BPS – everyone will receive a reduction of 5% on their first £30,000 of payments with bigger reductions on the higher payment bands.

3) Start of a 3 year national pilot for the Environmental Land Management Scheme.

4) Improvements to existing schemes - the Countryside Stewardship Scheme will continue to be available with the last new applications being accepted in 2023. Anyone that has a Countryside Stewardship Agreement that starts after January 2021, who gets offered a new Environmental Land Management Scheme, will be able to withdraw and transfer to the new scheme with no penalty. Therefore anyone considering applying for a new Countryside Stewardship agreement in 2021, it is worth looking to see what options are out there.

On the property side, we have seen a tremendous couple of months here at Exeter with a range of property types seeing prices often achieving in excess of their guide prices. We have just completed on Higher Swannaton Farm

which included an extensive farmhouse, two well designed barn conversions, an extensive range of modern and traditional agricultural outbuildings along with 57 acres of pasture land in a stunning location which saw a huge

amount of interest. We have also completed on the Land at Christow being a smaller acreage on the edge of Dartmoor. We where we were inundated with interest and it sold well in excess of the guide prices. This shows the

huge demand for small pieces of land where people can own ‘a little piece of Devon’, something we have seen increasingly popular since the first lockdown.

Following a very successful Autumn trading in the farm agency department, we have a number of blocks of land and farms in the pipeline so please watch this space, and give the office a call to get registered so you are kept up to date with any properties coming on the market. Likewise if you are interested in discussing the possibility of selling in the spring, please do not hesitate to contact your local Kivells office a call and we would be more than happy to carry out a market appraisal and discuss how we can help with marketing.

Weather wise, compared to the autumn of 2019; 2020 has been very kind to us with opportunities to get the winter crops in and livestock staying out slightly later than they would have in 2019. Let’s hope this weather continues and we do not have a long winter ahead.

As always, please give your local property and professional office a call if we can help with any matter and ‘we wish you all a jolly Christmas but a jolly safe Christmas!’
