SUPPORT SCHEMES UPDATE AND GRANTS

SUSTAINABLE FARMING INCENTIVE (SFI) PILOT – DEADLINE 1ST SEPTEMBER

Farmers have just over two weeks to submit their Sustainable Farming Incentive pilot application.  This is submitted on-line using the farmers’ Rural Payments Agency account and the application process is relatively simple; however, before applying, it is important to read the relevant Standards and decide what level is appropriate for – introductory, intermediate or advanced.  We recommend all farmers have a look at the SFI pilot standards to understand how the scheme might operate in future.
