Direct Payments to farmers: lump sum exit scheme and delinked payments in England

We wanted to know what you think about the proposed lump sum exit scheme for farmers and our proposed approach to delinked payments.

We were seeking views on a set of questions including:

• the eligibility criteria and aspects of how we should calculate the value of the lump sum
• the reference period to be used to determine eligibility for, and calculate the value of, delinked payments
