The Rural Payments Agency today published the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) rates for 2021.  Farmers no longer have to meet the “greening” requirements and this budget has been added to the overall entitlement rate.

From 2021, Direct Payments in England are being phased out and you can use the Defra Progressive reductions calculator to help you work out what this means for your business.  Information about all the changes to support payments are at: Farming Is Changing.
