Countryside Stewardship Scheme - Act Now

Jo Edwards discusses why now is the best time to take advantage of the Countryside Stewardship Scheme. 
Now that we have passed the Basic Payment Scheme application deadline, our attentions are turning to Countryside Stewardship (CS). If you are wanting to explore the options available and think you may want to apply for a CS scheme then now is the time to act.

You need to get an application pack ordered via your RPA online page by 30th June 2020. The deadline for submission of applications is 31st July 2020, so if you are thinking of a possible scheme now is the time to act.

Here at PFK we are fully equipped to help and advise on possible schemes, and will be able to undertake site visits to discuss options and put together applications, all whilst abiding by Government guidelines on social distancing.

We have experience of putting together a wide variety of schemes, from small holdings up to large complex schemes on areas of common land.

In this current climate of considerable uncertainty both globally in respect of the Covid-19 pandemic and also the considerable uncertainty there is within the agricultural industry on the back of Brexit and the phasing out of the Basic Payment Scheme, there is no better time than to look to the Countryside Stewardship scheme to bolster farm incomes while also doing your bit for the environment where you live and work.

Please remember, if you are thinking about Countryside Stewardship then now is the moment to act and get an application pack ordered before the end of June

Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us here PFK if you want any guidance or help.
