Details
Defra has reviewed and updated Countryside Stewardship (CS) revenue payment rates based on current costs.
Where the 2024 rate has increased, the higher revenue payment rate will be paid for:
- revenue agreements starting on or before 1 January 2024
- applications received in 2024
Some payment rates have not changed, therefore your rate will remain the same as the 2023 payment rate.
If you have a previous agreement, payment rates will not decrease.
