Farmers should devise a manure and slurry storage and spreading plan for this autumn in view of continuing “inadequate information” from the Environment Agency (EA) about the Farming Rules for Water (FRfW) regulations.
Certain standards under the new Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) require participants in the scheme to create soil risk assessments and soil management plans as part of their agreement, but what exactly does this entail?
Following changes to the regulations in April 2021, farmers in Wales have to notify Natural Resources Wales (NRW) at least 14 days prior to any construction works on any new stores, or for substantial improvements to existing stores.
The EA has committed to publishing new guidance by early Spring that will allow farmers to spread manure on fields this autumn.
Countryside Stewardship options may be available on land designated by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) as conditionally exempt from Inheritance Tax, depending on the specific undertakings and proposed options.
To better reflect the contributions made by those with HLS agreements and to support the continued protection and management of these sites, Defra are increasing HLS payment rates.
Following the temporary closure of the Capital Grants scheme in November 2024, Defra has announced that sufficient funding has been secured for 2025/26.
