SUSTAINABLE FARMING INCENTIVE (SFI) – Email to those who submitted applications before it closed

This week, the RPA emailed farmers who submitted SFI applications before the scheme closed with reassurances that, if your submitted application is eligible, you will be offered an agreement.  We recommend farmers keep checking for messages on your Rural Payments Agency (RPA) account and check emails.  If you are offered an SFI agreement, you will only have 10 working days to accept the offer – easy to miss during the busy lambing and calving period, particularly if you have been waiting for months for an agreement.
