A DAERA spokesperson commented on the process, saying that: “Inspectors will visit a number of farm businesses in the coming months to check if they have carried out the EFS work claimed for in the single application form.
The inspection process should be straightforward and penalties avoided, if all this work has been completed to the required standard.

“These standards are clearly explained in the EFS information sheets which are available on the DAERA website. If you have trouble accessing these you should contact your local DAERA office.”
The inspector continued by saying that “farmers will be notified if they have been selected for inspection a few days before the actual visit," in order to give them " time to have other items such as field records brought up to date”.
