The next round of support payments for farmers was agreed in 2013 and will remain in force from 2016 - 2020. The new scheme involves greening requirements for the first time. Organic farmers are exempt from these requirements as they are deemed to be green already. Find out what the scheme means for you with our guides and direct links to official website:
