Fraid so , get that round up on ....
You can go into non-gov schemes alongside SFI, there are no restrictions on that for 2022 (but we have said we will keep that under review in future years, to avoid the risk of paying for the same things twice)

SFI soil payment rates revealed but disappointment abounds - Farmers Weekly
Industry leaders are disappointed with the payments on offer for managing soils under Defra’s Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) for 2022 – but stress
www.fwi.co.uk
Payment rates shouldn't stop people from applying
If anyone thinks i am putting my head in a defra noose for £40/ha with the RPA on the trapdoor handle.........................
Take another sample from the right location.....And would those standards and ambitions be Defra's 'options', and a tag on to existing agreements?
Been caught like that before.
And the Soil organic matter calculations for every parcel - what happens if, despite all your best efforts, the level drops?
There are a wide range of carbon calculators in the market - we're not at this stage planning to provide one through SFI.
However I know there are other teams in Defra working on the question of how we can best support the development of the market for carbon in farming, including how you monitor and verify carbon sequestration and emissions in agriculture, and my team works closely with them. We'll continue doing that and keep this question under review.
Sorry I had missed that one, have now answered

I have a nationally important SSSI on my farm. The Govt and its agencies are not interested in giving a sensible scheme on it, so stuff them, I'll let it go to ruin. If they don't care then why should I ??
I'm certainly not
I'm just working through the questions and answers, I'll take a look at yours now
Of course we would not like you to do that, for any reason at all. Meadows are incredibly precious and important.
I'd suggest that if you have meadows and you would like to have them in a scheme then your best option would be to go into / stay in CS until we introduce the relevant standards into SFI - we'll be adding more standards in 2023, 2024 and 2025 and we'll provide a smooth way for you to transfer from CS into SFI when SFI is ready.
@Janet Hughes Defra any further details on what would constitute a “multi species green cover” for the intermediate arable soil scheme?
The detailed description section doesn’t currently give any details on it.

The price of wheat and rape may overtake the ambitions of the Minister.

As ever I assume and we await the fine print.
