Crop diversification not applicable

Customers and agents completing the Single Application Form (SAF) have been advised to ignore any references to crop diversification requirements for the 2021 scheme and beyond.

There will be no greening penalties applied for crop diversification. Further information on Greening requirements can be found on the RP&S website Greening guidance (2021) (ruralpayments.org).

Removing the reference to Crop Diversification on the SAF is being considered for future application years to avoid any confusion.

For further information please contact your local area office.
