FARMERS will be able to find out directly how to apply to the Single Payment Scheme - the biggest change facing farmers in 30 years - at a roadshow at the Three Counties Showground on Wednesday, February 25.
There will be two events, one at 9.30am and the other at 2.30pm. The format will include short presentations on the SPS together with details of the application form and how to apply.
Question and answer sessions where individual farmers' concerns will be addressed will be an important feature.
Demand is expected to be heavy and places will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis. Places can be booked on 0870 043 4109 or on-line at www.keystone-group.co.uk/SPS.
Lord Whitty, food and farming minister, said: "This is an ideal opportunity for farmers to have their questions answered. I'd urge those involved in the industry to take this opportunity to find out directly how the scheme will work."
