    Rich landowners paid millions in farming subsidies

    'Honest farmers suffer'

    The data from England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland shows that 889 landowners received more than £250,000. Of those, 133 were given more than £500,000 and 47 of those were given more than £1m in subsidy.

    Jack Thurston, who campaigns for reforms to the Common Agriculture Policy's subsidy, said: "These are very wealthy people and if we're in the business of handing out public money to farmers because they're poor, these are not the kind of people that we'd be handing that money to."

    Mr Thurston said the system is flawed because it rewards large landowners based on the number of hectares they own, not on financial need.
