Abstract

Future funding arrangements for farm support once the UK is no longer under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) remain uncertain, pending UK-government decisions. However, by estimating the share currently allocated to the beef sector, it was possible to use current funding levels as a guide to the budget potentially available to the Beef Climate Suckler Scheme in future years. Data on the level of past funding provided to individual farm businesses with suckler beef cows or dairy cows in 2014 and 2019 was provided to SRUC by SG-RPID and a new methodology developed that utilised Standard Outputs of businesses to allocate CAP support to enterprises. Changes in allocations of CAP support are presented over the 2014-2019 period - during the 5 year transition from Single Farm Payments to the Basic Payment Scheme plus Greening. The changes in the structure of the business are provided using businesses rather than agricultural holdings that other analysis rely on - despite skewing perceptions of the sector.
