Hello Dave. Yes, the lazy, on forums all day farmers will still be getting handjobs but it is all changing over the next few years. Instead of the amount being linked to how many acres you farm (I've got 20 acres and you've got 43) an environmental payment will be made which rewards the things you do for habitat and wildlife.
The CAP type payments are being phased out whilsf the new ELM ( environmental land management) scheme is being phased in. This change starts now but Boris and his buffoons haven't even told us exactly how it will work yet
