However, under the plans seen by the Financial Times, English farmers currently receiving more than £30,000 a year are set to face cuts even higher than 50 per cent by 2024, with the slice of payments between £30,000 and £50,000 to be cut by 55 per cent from their pre-Brexit rates, the portion up to £150,000 to be cut by 65 per cent, and any payments beyond that to be slashed by 70 per cent.

That is about the rate of reduction expected though, isn't it? Phasing out by 2027. Possibly a bit faster than some commentators were forecasting - but tied into payments for CSS and ELMS?
