The Welsh Government has once again led across the UK in delivering 2016 basic payments. Nearly 90 per cent of eligible farm businesses were paid on the first day of the payment window and 15,435—that’s 99.93 per cent—farm businesses have received payments totalling £224.1 million. There are now 11 eligible farm businesses awaiting their payment. Those claims are complex, or officials are waiting for information from the farm business.
