Have Your Say on The ELMS Scheme

The Environmental Land Management Scheme (ELMS) is set to replace the Basic Payment Scheme once it is phased out. The scheme is currently being developed and as part of the consultation process farmers and landowners are being given an opportunity to have their say in relation to some aspects of the proposed scheme. The closing date for consultation is 31st July 2020. Prior to this DEFRA are running a series of Webinars which interested parties can join to hear more about the scheme proposals.
