A NATIONAL Farmers' Union road show on changes in support payments to hill farmers comes to York next week.

The European Union intends to radically alter how these payments are made: from how many livestock farmers have to how much land they have. The NFU presentation is to explain as many details as possible, though at present few specifics are known. In addition to providing information there will also be discussion in the meeting to be held at the NFU's regional office in Tadcaster Road, York, starting at 10am on August 25.
