"Single payment scheme (or single farm payment): Direct aid payment for EU farmers, independent from production, (see ‘decoupling’ above), to be introduced following the 8 June 2003 CAP reforms and which replaces most of the previous direct aid payments to farmers."
http://europa.eu.int/comm/agriculture/publi/enlarge/gloss_en...

"The 2003 CAP reform extended that principle to livestock farming, where support had previously been based upon the number of animals. All farmers now receive a Single Farm Payment (SFP) each year, rather than a collection of payments from individual schemes."

"The new "single farm payments" are linked to respect for environmental, food safety and animal welfare standards."

"the Single Farm Payment Scheme (SFPS).

This guide gives you information about how the National Reserve, part of the Single Farm Payment Scheme, will work. It is based on the Regulations in place at the time of publication and these may change. It should give you a general guide but is not a full legal explanation of the EU regulations that govern the SFPS."

(This site also mentions the dairy premium and additional payment...)

"Single Farm Payment Scheme

The first instalment will be an interim payment of 75% of a provisional assessment of the total Single Farm Payment for each farm business based on the information held in DARD records."
