MORE than 7,400 farmers in the South-West have applied online to the Single Payment Scheme, as the application deadline of May 15 looms.
Rural Payments Agency customer director Justin Chamberlain said: “This is fantastic news and shows just how many of our farmers, landowners and agents see the business benefits of going online.”
To use the service for the first time, all applicants need to first register on the Government Gateway website.
