    Dept has drafted letters outlining cuts of up to 20% in Single Farm Payments

    THE Dept of Agriculture have been warned to ‘think long and hard’ before getting embroiled in the bogs controversy that has raged in the West over recent months, following reports this week of possible cuts in the Single Farm Payment for so-called ‘illegal turfcutters’.

    The irony of cutting EU payments because of the potential EU fines isn't lost on me but should the Dept of Ag get involved or steer clear?
