The NFU is calling on ministers to “do the right thing” after problems rolling out new farm payment schemes left farmers facing a bleak end to 2023.
The Sustainable Farming Incentive should have been up and running to deliver payments by December, but critical delays in the roll-out of the new scheme mean most farmers are unable to access it.
NFU President Minette Batters said: “We now know that farmers will not be paid this year, despite assurances that they would be. Mrs Batters added: “It’s Back British Farming Day next week; a celebration of farming and growing, of great food, of our countryside and of people who make a huge contribution to the UK economy. It would be great if government could have some good news on this for farmers then.”
Mrs Batters said: “All we’re asking for is government to bridge the gap it has created by taking away one set of payments, but not delivering access to their replacements on time.”
