Tread carefully into 10-year commitment of stewardship - 2003 - Farmers' Weekly 138(8) 21 February 2003, 14(1) .

Summarises what farmers need to consider before entering into the Countryside Stewardship Scheme such as the overall aims of the scheme, the level of commitment required and the level of payment as opposed to reduced farm income. Outlines what the scheme does and what the landowner is required to do. Also includes a short section on the new Entry Level Scheme which is being piloted this year and will be a shorter term commitment allowing more farmers to be involved in conservation.
