From Farmers Weekly Interactive (FWi)
More than 295,000ha of England's uplands has been signed up for environmental management under the Uplands Entry Level Stewardship scheme.
Over 2,000 farmers have joined the scheme since the application period opened on 1 July, taking it more than half way towards Natural England's goal of covering 505,000ha of land covered with management agreements by next year.
The Uplands ELS, which replaces the Hill Farm Allowance, aims to reward farmers for mixing environmental stewardship, such as grassland management, restoring farm buildings with food production.
