Halting SFI is devastating for farmers. How we got to this position is complex, but can we learn from this and move forward, quickly, to support farmers and the environment linkedin.com/pulse/sfi-deba… @DefraGovUK @NFFNUK @NFUtweets @agricontract @guardianeco
The SFI Debacle. Lessons need to be learned, not only in Defra

Beware the land agents telling you that you can have your cake, eat it & have another slice in SFI! You can't sow pollen & nectar mixes as short term cover crops & you can't sow cover crops into an enhanced stubble option. It's lose lose. Choose a better adviser! @JanetHughes

FWAG East members had an amazing time with Hedgelife (@IanMetson) yesterday, learning the ancient craft of hedgelaying! From history and techniques to ecological benefits, they got hands-on with every step. The end product was fantastic!
