[QUOTE="Janet Hughes Defra, post: 8815261, member: 153068"] We're aware of the contribution BPS makes to LFA grazing livestock farms, yes - that's why the government decided to phase out BPS over 7 years, to give farmers time to plan and adapt, and why there is a range of payments and other support being made available. The farming budget doesn't just pay for SFI, and SFI isn't intended to be the only way to make up your BPS income - there is also CS mid-tier and higher tier, a range of one-off grants and productivity support, including animal health and welfare advice funding. There are summaries of the range of options available now for grassland and upland farmers in CS and SFI, here: [URL]https://defrafarming.blog.gov.uk/about-us/[/URL] and there will be more options coming next year, as set out in our update in January. It's for each farm to determine the combination of measures and payments to suit your farm business. To support this, Defra is also funding business planning advice through the resilience fund, to help farmers plan their businesses as BPS payments are phased out. You can choose your provider. Details of all the payments on offer are available here: [URL]https://www.gov.uk/guidance/funding-for-farmers[/URL], and details of the resilience fund are available here: [URL]https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/get-free-business-advice-for-your-farm[/URL] [/QUOTE]
