Today at the Department for the Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs' session of Oral Parliamentary Questions, Gareth asked about the Government's support for farmers and agricultural businesses, and its help alleviating the current acute pressures on cashflow in particular.
DEFRA has already announced that 50% of this year’s BPS payment will be brought forward as an advance injection of cash to farm businesses from the end of July, to provide confidence and support farmers with their business planning during these difficult times.
