The Dealer learnt with some surprise last week that Slovakia has the highest percentage of farmers in Europe receiving a basic payment of over €60,000.
Some 9% of farmers over there get over €60,000 a year, which is due to “historical reasons”. Of course all that will change in the next CAP, but if The Dealer had known a little sooner he might have made a few different life choices. Apparently Slovakia is lovely this time of year, with a basic payment to match.
