All eligible farmers will receive a payment under the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) and a Greening Payment. The Greening payment is a top-up of the BPS and amounts to approximately 44% of the total value of entitlements activated. Over 90% of farmers will automatically qualify for the Greening Payment on the basis of their current farming practices. The remainder will have to undertake specific measures to qualify as outlined in the 2017 BPS Terms and Conditions Booklet.
