Everything you need to know about the Basic Payment Scheme
(BPS) in 2020.
There are updates to the scheme rules for 2020, which may
affect you. You can read about these updates on page 1 of
the ‘Basic Payment Scheme: rules for 2020’.
Crop diversification rules removed for BPS 2020 but EFA and
permanent grassland rules still apply
As the crop diversification rules have been removed for
2020, you will not have to comply with this part of the
greening rules (also known as ‘the two or three crop
rule’). However, you still need to meet the rest of the
greening rules:
- maintaining at least 5% equivalent area of ecological
focus area if you have more than 15 ha of arable land
- following the rules for the management of permanent
grassland.
