Now that Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) payments are phasing out, farmers need to ensure they are making the most of the schemes and grants available to replace their lost income.
Now that Basic Payment Scheme payments are phasing out, farmers need to ensure they are making the most of the schemes and grants available to replace their lost income.The remaining BPS subsidy will be paid automatically in June and December each year until the Scheme closes in 2027.
Secondly, if you haven’t already and are eligible to do so, enter into the Sustainable Farming Incentive, a new Government scheme which pays farmers for undertaking actions that protect and improve the environment. Agreements are for three years, with payments made quarterly. The application window is open all year round and, this summer, DEFRA is going to combine CSS and SFI to allow farmers to be more flexible and develop a scheme combining options from both.
Finally, grants coming out in the summer and autumn include funding for laying hen and pullet farmers to improve or replace existing housing, as well as upgrades to cattle housing for cattle aged six months and over and the slurry infrastructure grant.
