SFI AHW1 - Bumblebird Mix
Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) AHW1 (2024), Bumblebird Mix, requires you to sow a mix which contains at least six flower species and six seed-bearing crops with a maximum of three cereal crops with a granted payment of £747/ha. AHW1 is a static or rotational action, and can therefore be carried out on the same area of land each year, or can be moved around the farm. The mix can be sown between early spring and early autumn with the main aims of providing a food source during the cooler months and to produce areas of pollen and nectar for pollinators.
