16/10/25 Environmental scheme extension 'too late', The Windsor Framework 'overwhelmingly complex', county council farm incomes


Listen Later

"Too little too late", that’s what we’re hearing from some farmers who’ve already ploughed up and planted fields that were being farmed for nature. They say this is because the government took too long to come up with an extension to their environmental funding.

A House of Lords Committee says the Windsor Framework, the post-Brexit agreement between the UK and EU that’s meant to simplify trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, is "overwhelmingly complex".

Powys Council has just closed a consultation on plans for a new farm policy, which includes the possibility of selling some of its council owned farms.

Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
