As a Certified Planner working in the system i believe this is definitely a step backwards. The way we are setting up once a farmer does a strategy to build a barn and it is approved it is the last contact he needs to make ever again unless he decides to build something more.
With the larger operators that have to do a spreading plan with their strategy is it still my responsibility to go back to him and update that plan at the 5 year mark when it runs out?
if so who is responsible to make sure this work gets done. I am currently working with a client that is in trouble with the MECP because he did not update his plan and they did a random check.
The large operators that I work with want to be in compliance with current legislation and trust me to do that for them and keep their paper work up to date. They do not want a complaint registered and then find there is a gap in their plans. when there is over 1500 acres involved there are yearly changes let alone 5 year changes.
Where I see the bigger problem in the system we deal with is the small older operations that have never had to come into compliance with the NMA.
