Dear
Thank you for your email on 24 October 2023 about your SFI23 agreement.
I can confirm the answer to your question, "Could you inform me under the rules of the scheme could I grow a crop of spring barley then after the field had been cleared in August, sow winter bird food (AHL2) leaving it until I re sowed spring barley again in the following Spring?" is yes.
Also, there isn't a minimum time it has to be left in the ground to get paid for this option, as long as the rules are complied with for the actions.

Thats interesting. As you will not be delivering the flowering component in the 'purposes'. Flowering during summer months - which are June, July, August.
Very useful to have sight of these RPA definitions. Thanks.
