It is a simple matter of recalibrating the programme that generates the maps in areas of 5%. This recalibration would involve having the full area entered where the area in question is 5%, entering 0% where the area in question is 80% and so forth. This process of recalibrating the computer programme would allow a corrected map of reference areas to be re-issued, as per the Bing system and the new calculation. Many farmers find the calculations required complicated. The Department could make the change required with a flick of a switch and subsequently re-issue the maps.
