Assuming 1970=100

Year RPI Price in Area Aid in
1970 Pounds 1970 Pounds
1962 70 30.70 0
1972 117 30.76 0
1982 439 27.30 0
1992 749 16.95 1.86
2002 957 5.85 2.09

I'm assuming 10T/Ha yields for the Area Aid figure, and this includes
set-aside payments with the payment for wheat crops. In 1992 the
payment rates for cropped and set-aside land were different. In 2002
they are the same.
