CONTENTS * What this means for you * Contact us Print this page If you are a farmer or land manager and claimed rural payments between 2005 and 2023, you had to follow a set of rules called
cross compliance. These rules ended at midnight on 31 December 2023. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU From 1 January 2024 regulations continue to protect the environment, and animal health and
welfare. You can read the rules for farmers and land managers for more information about the regulations you need to follow. These are grouped by farming activities rather than individual
regulations so you can find the ones that apply to you. Compliance is monitored by the existing statutory bodies and regulated in a fair, proportionate, and consistent way. This means,
wherever possible, working with you to get it right and giving you opportunities to self-correct before taking any formal action. BPS We are replacing BPS with delinked payments from 2024.
If you claimed BPS in 2023, you should read the Delinked payments: replacing the Basic Payment Scheme guidance. CS AND ES AGREEMENTS We have updated your Terms and Conditions to reflect the
end of cross compliance. You can read about the changes if you are: * an Environmental Stewardship (ES) agreement holder * a Countryside Stewardship (CS) agreement holder Past cross
compliance guidance is held on the National Archives website. CONTACT US If you need to contact us, you can: Email: [email protected] Telephone 03000 200 301 Write to us: Rural
