[QUOTE="farmerm, post: 7745895, member: 7195"] [TABLE] [TR] [TD]Land lying fallow[/TD] [TD]FA01[/TD] [TD]All land you are planning to count as fallow land for BPS. Wild bird mixes can be coded under a number of different land use codes, as long as in your individual example matches the criteria, for example: a) as a mixed crop if there is an area where a seed mixture is sown, it doesn’t matter what crops are included in the mix. b) as fallow land when it is land which has no crop production or grazing on it, but is maintained in a state suitable for grazing or cultivation. These must be an un-harvestable mix of at least 2 crops that support wildlife and pollinators (advisers from the ‘Championing the Farmed Environment’ can help farmers choose). Wild-bird seed mixes should be an area with a balanced combination of small-seed bearing crops, for example Barley, Triticale, Kale, Quinoa, Linseed, Millet, Mustard, Fodder radish, Sunflower. This will benefit over-wintering birds. Pollen sources and nectar sources should be in an area with a mixture of nectar-rich plants, for example Red clover, Alsike clover, Bird’s foot trefoil, Sainfoin, Musk mallow or Common knapweed. This will benefit nectar feeding insects like butterflies and bumble bees.[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/QUOTE]
