  1. Cell A6 of the Agreement_values table stated that the numbers showed 'total annual value', however data providers confirmed it should read 'total agreement value'. Updated file attachment includes this change. Failed save on first attempt without change to cell. Second update implemented change correctly.

  2. Error in HTML summary corrected. Previously said that "Around 10% of applications in Window 2 were from farm businesses that do not have an existing agreement under Countryside Stewardship, Environmental Stewardship or the Sustainable Farming Incentive. This is a similar percentage to Window 1." This was incorrect, as the percentage in Window 1 was 85%. Updated write-up to reflect this.

  3. First published.
