Single Farm Payment
2026, OUT WITH THE OLD ……… IN WITH THE NEW
FARM SUSTAINABILITY PAYMENT?
How the new scheme will affect the value of entitlements in 2026, at this stage, is hard to predict.
We know that because of the new regulations being introduced, more entitlements will be on the market for sale than in previous years.
We also know that there is likely to more demand as “soft features” can now be included to claim Sustainability Payment. Added to that, there seems to be more certainty of the continuation of some form of sustainability payment for the foreseeable future.
While trading does not start until March 2026, the importance of an early announcement from DAERA regarding entitlement values, will be a key factor to avoiding chaos in the market.
If you are not sure of what to do in 2026, give us a call in the new year and we will try to help you steer through the main changes likely to affect you.
Christmas is around the corner! our office is now closed and will reopen on 9th January 2026.
Thank you for your custom in 2025. We would like to wish you a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful & prosperous 2026.
