What does the new Labour government mean for farming businesses in our region?
The new government has been elected midway through the agricultural transition in England. 2024 Basic Payment Scheme receipts will be at least 50% of the pre-cut 2020 rates and new Environmental Land Management (ELM) schemes are up and running.
