Farmers braced for incoming CAP changes

This is the first and probably the last chance for family farms, especially those who have been developing over the last decade, to fight for a fair share of the CAP budget.

Last week’s agreement on the new direction for the Common Agricultural Policy is an opportunity for the Government to implement changes that will help small- and medium-sized dairy farmers grow into viable units.

These are farmers who got few payments from CAP up to now.
