Small scale farmers in the north west will earn more under the new Common Agricultural Policy.
That's according to Midlands/North West MEP, Chris MacManus following agreement from the European Parliament on new CAP rules.
Under the new rules, there will be a limit on the subsidies the big farms can receive and small farms will benefit from a “redistribution payment”.
MEP, MacManus says it is a step in the right direction.
