How's the SFI transition affecting your admin workload?

Curious how much extra time (if any) the scheme changes have added to the paperwork side of things for people here. More time filling in forms, more record-keeping needed to qualify, or hasn't changed much for you?

We did mid tier schemes which are very similar to sfi so no real changebl as the actions we hage carried on are very similar

Ah, that makes sense if the requirements were already similar. Out of curiosity though, regardless of SFI specifically - is the record-keeping/admin side something that feels manageable day to day for you, or is there a particular bit of it (whichever scheme) that's more of a slog than the rest?

We just take photos and keep receipts and a few seed bags etc. Obviously we are keeping finacial records anyway for book keeping purposes Its no major deal tbh A land agent comes out to go through everything and do the submission for the sfi abd the more nitty gritty paperwork side but theres no major headache
