Single farm payment hedging

The single farm payment (SFP) scheme was introduced on January 1 2005, as part of the package that reformed the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Payment is set by the Payments Agency on September 30th.

David Jackson, Director of North East, answers some common questions from farmers about 'hedging' their SFP as a form of insurance against potential poor exchange rates.
