Has SFI fully opened for applications yet? Other than the expression of interest form I thought I had read somewhere it was now fully open for applications but cannot find the article again now!
When will SFI fully open for applications?

I hear that a used 6 furrow Doudeswell plough plus an experienced operator can re set Countryside Stewardship all all tier levels and that a 14 tonne slew will make short work of Trees?

If they can’t get organised so we can apply why don’t they pay an interim payment until they do get organised?

They have said if we don’t apply then their budget will be cut accordingly but won’t let us apply

Hoping it will be. I’ve sorted out what I’m doing on my farm map on paper so hope to just bang it in on the screen. Looking forward to getting it done and dusted.

Registered interest when 2024 first released, back in May/June maybe? Got next day invite to apply but decided to wait to see what the full 'improved' offer was like. Not much better for us but half of BPS clawed back is better than nothing. My biggest bugbear is the non allowance of strip till when low disturbance subsoiler, which moves all the soil full width is allowed before the drill. It says for compacted areas only but then just claim whole field is compacted. Most of SFI is a complete balls up but whilst there is some cash available, we are going for it.
Same here... Needing to make plans and cropping decisons in in the next fortnight too....
If you have a Claydon I think they claim that qualifies for SOH1.
