DEFRA recently announced changes that are being made, following feedback from upland farmers and industry representatives, to make their schemes even more accessible to upland farmers. DEFRA are:

  • making payment rates in environmental land management schemes equal for both upland and lowland farms where they are carrying out the same actions - this means increased rates for upland farmers in four Countryside Stewardship options

  • reviewing and amending a further seven Countryside Stewardship options to make them more accessible to upland farmers

  • improving engagement with upland farmers with focused advice and support to help them access schemes
