With thanks to Messrs Ayre at Ratcliffe Farm for hosting this event.
Herbal leys are an increasingly popular component within farming rotations on South West farms. Their inclusion and attractive payment rate within Defra's Sustainable Farming Incentive means they are an option to consider carefully within any farm business.
Farms in the South West also have the highest proportions of hedgerows in England and, again, hedgerow management options under SFI could be a valuable addition to your post-BPS farm income.
This workshop will support any farmers considering herbals leys and hedgerow management on their farm.
It will include:
- The details of herbal leys and hedgerow options under SFI - what could you earn, what would you be required to do under SAM3 and HRW1, 2 and 3?
- Following a pasty lunch, a farm walk to examine and discuss the practical management of herbal leys and hedgerows
This farm event has an outside component so please come appropriately dressed.
