SFI SAM2 - Multi Species Winter Cover
Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) SAM2, Multi-Species Winter Cover, requires a well-established multi-species cover crop over the winter months - December, January and February. SAM2 is a rotational action, and can therefore be carried out on the same area of land each year, or can be moved around the farm. The cover crop must be sown, and contain two or more species from the plant families - brassica, cereal, grass, legume or herb.
