All Higher Level Scheme holders that finish in 2023 will be offered a five year extension, and those eligible will have already been notified. The extension will run from the original agreement end date and will continue on the same criteria as previously. You will be able to leave your extension agreement at an agreed point if you are accepted onto another agri-environmental scheme.

The RPA will send out extension offers to those who are eligible, before their current agreement ends. When these are received, contact Sophie at sophiecahill@fcgagric.com or your local FCG Office to ascertain whether this will be to your benefit.
