Farmers in ACRES General

The difference between ACRES General and ACRES Co-operation

General: available nationally (outside of the high priority geographical area defined for the ACRES Co-operation approach) and offers a range of actions for individual farmers, both targeted and general. Farmers in ACRES General can download and complete the ACRES Record Sheets March 2025.

Co-operation: available to farmers in defined high priority geographical areas, and involves results-based payments as well as bespoke farm and landscape actions. Contracts have been awarded for the management of Co-operation Projects (CP), and farmers will be supported by new teams, who will develop local action plans for their zones. To learn more information, please visit the Farmers in ACRES CP.
