The phase-out of the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) is set to have a huge impact on farm incomes across England.
After the first cuts this year, farm businesses face the loss of at least half their annual basic payment by 2024 – with the whole lot gone by 2028.
Incomes will be down by as much as £230/ha, say farm business consultants.
BPS funding currently represents some 58% of profit across all farm types – with sectors such as grazing livestock performing significantly worse.

Around 100 tillage farmers received letters from the Department’s Basic Payment unit last week, advising them of impending penalties because they amended their BPS applications after 31 May.
While penalties can apply for late amendments, growers had until 12 June to withdraw parcels from inclusion in the new straw incorporation measure (SIM).
The letters indicated that the stated penalties would apply to additional parcels added, rather than the withdrawal of parcels, as was happening with SIM applicants.
However, the second paragraph of the letter indicated that a specific level of penalty will apply, but this is not the case.
