Letter to the Times

The Environmental Land Management Scheme is at the heart of the Government’s plans to reform payments to farmers.

We need to make sure that farmers are not just paid for the size of their farms – as they were under Europe’s Common Agricultural Policy – but that public money supports public goods.

Public goods like nature recovery, conservation and clean waters.

I joined a number of other MPs, farmers and campaigners to write a letter to today’s Times urging the Government to deliver on its promises to reform farm payments.
