DEFRA have this morning (15th October 2025) announced that farmers with Countryside Stewardship Mid-Tier agreements due to expire this year will be offered a one year extension.

This will allow over 5,000 farmers to continue their environmental and sustainable farming activities while more long-term schemes are reviewed.

The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) will contact eligible participants directly with details of their offer and how to accept it.

For further information, contact our team on 01768 866 611.
