Another information packed update, nice one. I like how the SFI options on your farm at least are still letting you farm exclusively for food production as you should be able to in truth. Many of the options are seemingly a perfect fit for your farm business and will in time build your soils, sales and wildlife on the farm. I’m sure it will get the locals talking and engaging more with your farm. What’s not to like, aye? Best wishes, Tony.
Great video Ben. Even as a direct driller I wont be signing up for that as too restrictive in a year like this when spring seedbeds needed a tickle. Must look at various rate as I can do it but don't use P&K so can I have the maps and apply zero or am I paid on what I apply thus being incentivised to use more!!!
A very interesting take on the SFI ,just a question though, the legume fallow is only an annual option this year, do you factor in your rotation a three year fallow?

Spring oats seem to do okay without that tickle but not much else does. Likewise the only nutrient we put on is N

In SFI23 it was rotational, in SFI24 it is effectively static
