A damning report by Audit Scotland has recently revealed Scotland’s farmer payments crisis won’t be sorted until 2018.
Audit Scotland also said, "issues in relation to the SNP’s processing of Common Agricultural Policy payments, continue to have a significant impact”. It warned that, “it is likely that the rural payments system will not be functioning as anticipated, until SAF (Single Application Form Window) 2018 at the earliest”.
The Scottish Government could also face fines of more than £60 million from the EU this year, if it does not process all its payments on time.
