Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) agreement holders in England are required to submit an annual declaration to confirm that they have delivered against their agreement for that year. SFI annual declarations become available for completion approximately two months before the SFI anniversary date. It is important to submit your annual declaration online, via the Rural Payments service, within the designated period to receive the final quarterly instalment of your annual payment.
Rotational actions declaration
If you have SFI rotational actions in your agreement, you must also complete a separate rotational actions declaration to confirm the location of rotational actions for year two and three of your agreement.
Your rotational actions declaration will be available in the Rural Payments service once you have submitted your annual declaration. The RPA will notify you when it’s available. It’s important that you complete and submit your rotational actions declaration as soon as it’s available so you can be paid for the relevant agreement year.
