Highest paying non rotational CS or SFI option ?

[Clive]

If you had a block of land that you didn’t feel was viable for production / logistically difficult etc what environmental option could you put on it that paid best ?

 

[Wilberforce]

Winter Bird Mixture plus Supplementary Feeding plus No Insecticide plus Hedges and DD payment?
£1340/ha plus Hedges per year?

think under 24 scheme they have to be rotational now though and limited to 25%

 

[Wilberforce]

Think it can be kept in the same place? If drilled after end of June it has to be kept in the same place? If it's truly difficult land make it part of the 25% allowance.

 

[Clive]

anyone know if the 25% relates to the total area under a holding number or 25% of the agreement ?


ie could you split a holding into multiple agreements each with 25% ?

CAHL2 is rotational or static.

It says 25% of your 'Farm'.

You could increase your 2023 agreement?

i guess you can only add options on parcels that were in your ‘23 agreement - this is potential new land so would need a new agreement

Yes would need to be a parcel included in your 23 agreement.

Most of the higher paying options all 25% limited area options (25% includes combination of limited area options too), so probably:

CNUM3+IPM4+SOH1

25% of the land area associated with that particular SBI was my understanding. I haven’t checked yet if that is 25% of the Arable non Permanent Pasture for options that are specific to arable classified land, as since the rule was introduced I have not been involved in an SFI application where it mattered.

Wasn't life simpler when land generated food, instead of pointless passtime for unproductive bureaucracy?

Even though we are a fraction of land to @Clive the effective splitting up of the holding would appear to make sense, if I was minded to maximise the income from SFI on where the Options is 25% limited.

Pretty sure the clever Agents will be well on teh case already!

A parcel included in ones 23 agreement, to what extent? Hedges enough?

So then I can increase other options on that parcel?

Yes hedge, soil plan etc

You would require additional SBI numbers. In which case I assume IACS26 IACS27 apply. But you need to ask a agent / consultant that has experience

I am a tad thick today. But 25% is same for a specific area whether as one agreement area or split into several agreements?! Is it not?

25% of an agreement is not the same as 25% of a holding if it has multiple agreements though

probably trying to be a bit to clever here though !

 

[Badshot]

I thought I read 25 % of the total farmed area

Am I being thick here, but 25% of say 1000 acres would be the same area if said 1000 acres was 10 x 100 acres @ 25%

Take it as 25% of holding

Winter Bird Mixture plus Supplementary Feeding plus No Insecticide plus Hedges and DD payment?

Give me some of that for 3 years
Year 4 will be awash with wheat if we as an industry arnt sensible,
PREDICTION Wheat, wheat, wheat OR more of the same at that

All on the table for those who wish to claim it.

Only if your land identifies as arable

Crumbs for the rest.
