First it was Single Farm Payment, then it was Basic Payment Scheme. From 2020, farmers will see this change to another term – the Basic Income Support Scheme (BISS). The BISS scheme will replace the BPS scheme as we know it.

That’s not the only change on the way. There will also be a new scheme – the Complementary Redistributive Income Support For Sustainability (CRISS) – along with a scheme for young farmers called the Complementary Income Support for Young Farmers also known as CIS-YF (try pronouncing that one). They are just three of the big ones. When I learn about the rest I’ll keep you all informed.
