Defra organic scheme U-turn too late for 50 farmers Jonathan Riley 31 March 2021 >More in © Ruth Pascoe Organic farmers who had stewardship agreements axed have called for compensation amid mounting human, financial and environmental costs.     The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) shut down the Organic Higher Level Stewardship (OHLS) scheme in late 2019, without notifying the 123 contract holders.   After sustained lobbying by the organic sector, Defra reversed the decision last week, allowing existing OHLS holders to roll over contracts, in line with other stewardship schemes.    Cornwall-based Mark Pascoe contacted Farmers Weekly this week to explain the shock and financial impact caused by the RPA’s decision.
