Can't advise on Prem pac I'm afraid, but I can advise about SHOUTING ON FORUMS...........:sneaky:

I'm sure someone though will be along shortly to answer your question.

Hi Karen

We are beef farmers and also have about 30 hectares of cereal land. I'm not sure exactly what PREM PAC is, we send in a PAC dossier every year which relates to the land we farm. Until recently all farmers have been obliged to have gel de terre, or set-aside, which I think is being or has been phased out as more food needs to be produced globally. I know this because we are putting some of our land back into production. Sorry to be vague but we have a contractor who deals with the cereal side of things, and checks over the paperwork.
I suggest you contact your local Chambre d'Agriculture, who do the same job as Defra/RPA only efficiently ;) They will have a website which is useful if of course your French is technical enough, but we have found them extremely helpful.

Good luck!

Sue
