well it works for us we have a single business identification number (sbi), a CPH (county parish holding number) and entitlements on the land, which enable us to claim single farm payment, which just checking gives us 986£ pa on one 14 acre lump we own, plus the lower level stewardship payments which comes to about another 400£ pa.
now i should have expanded on the entitlements bit, and the sbi and cph stuff, but thats about it, other than filling in forms, if you don't have entitlements you can buy them.
now whats wrong with my statment?
