High pressure continues to dominate the country bringing with it cold, but dry weather, very much

needed if you are currently busy in the lambing pens. That said, the forecast is suggesting northerly

winds for the weekend, could snow be a feature for December?

Commodity prices seem to be holding their own, with both barley and wheat prices remaining

strong. Straw prices seem to be one of the main talking points, providing positive vibes for the

arable farmers, yet a little more frustrating for the livestock farmers amongst you having to use

the stuff.

Onto Basic Payment Scheme matters and some good news for a change. As returning from work

on Friday the 1st of December I was pleasantly informed that the home farm had received the

annual Basic Payment Scheme income and furthermore throughout the weekend it was clear that

many clients had also received the required payment. If you haven’t received anything yet, don’t

panic, it is understood the RPA are aiming to make payments to at least 90% of BPS claimants

(around 77,400) by the 31st of December.

With regards to the size of the payment there is further good news here too. It is understood

payments for the 2017 claim year should be just under 5% higher than the 2016 claim period due

to a more beneficial conversion rate from the Euro to the Pound. An increase that will be a

welcome boost to farmers across the country.

Here at Exeter we are busy submitting full and final claims against one large utility company for

clients that have been affected by works on the electrical pylons leading from Plymouth to Exeter.

It’s worth mentioning that if you experience any damage or losses as a result of any utility company

entering your land to undertake improvements or repairs to apparatus you are entitled to claim

for the losses you have incurred.

Throughout autumn, the professional team at Kivells have been busy receiving instructions on

various sales of land, buildings and residential property. We have seen our Exeter office build from

strength to strength, being favoured on a number of instructions including property that is

Rural Reflection December 2017

located down in the heart of the South Hams to property located at Bow, right in the centre of Mid

Devon. The professional team here at Kivells have a fantastic connection with the rural community

through our network of offices and livestock markets. Our team of agents have the knowledge and

ability to maximise the sale price of your property. If you are considering selling during 2018 please

do not hesitate to give us a call.

To finish, the Professional Team here at Kivells have been busy throughout 2017 with all types of

wok whether it be Property sales, Valuations, Tenancy matters, Planning or completing BPS and

Countryside Stewardship applications, the list is endless. We thank you for your continued custom

and we look forward to serving the South West rural community throughout 2018.

Until Next Year …………

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
