There was a tiny sonic boom, apparently. Nice to know it'd been there.

So whats the plan for 2025-2026-2027 ? Anybody know
It’s after a general election and payment rates are only guaranteed for the “life of this parliament“, so it would be up to the next government. Predictions are for a straight line reduction from the 2024 rate to zero in 2028, but that’s just guess work.

I would base all your future planning on zero in 2025.
It's 0 by 2027or 28 but I'm not sure of the phasing
Such a stupid idea getting rid of it!!

Do you mean they have told you that you will not get paid for several months or that you have been paid? @SpadeJust got the letter…..see you next year
Good news - been paid here : bad news - it's short by exactly the same as last year - complaint form sent off in December '20, chased up every 60 days - still not had the courtesy of any kind of reply.

Spoke to the RPA last Monday & it was prepared for payment - a week later & no show .
BPS is welcome each year and for a large proportion of UK farmers it represents a significant proportion of profits in the business. My question is who really benefits from the subsidy? As it is withdrawn I think the real pain will be seen more in the merchanting side of agriculture (and I am not saying some individual farmers will not be hit hard as well). They have got used to pricing to what the market will stand. If the £3billion annual subsidy injection is phased out to diddly squat in 4 or 5 years it is surely the case that inputs will become relatively cheaper as the cash will just not be in farmers accounts to pay such high prices for machinery or fungicides or whatever. I suspect it won`t come to that as the new regime will pay something approaching decent money but with some hardcore environmental strings attached. I just hope the new scheme
is practical and makes sense.
