Temporary Wet Weather Adjustments for Agri-Environment Schemes
Temporary Wet Weather Adjustments for Agri-Environment Schemes
Post date
May 2024
With wet weather causing havoc for many farmers across the country, DEFRA have introduced new temporary adjustments to support farmers who have experienced disruptions to their farming activities. In particular, those who are struggling to meet mandatory requirements for their agreements (such as the Sustainable Farming Incentive, Countryside Stewardship or Environmental Stewardship).
These adjustments will allow farmers more time to establish crops for their agreements, or to delay some activities to later in the year. This covers the period from 1 October 2023 to 31 July 2024, for live agreements. For more information about these adjustments, click here.
