SFI CSAM3 / SAM3 - Herbal Leys
Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) CSAM3 (2024), Herbal Leys, requires a herbal ley to be established which contains a mixture of grass, legumes and herbs to provide varied root structures and areas of flowering plants from late spring and during the summer months. The seed mix must include 1 grass species, 2 legume species and 2 herb or wildflower species as a minimum - ryegrass and/or festulolium should not make up more than 70% of the seed mix. CSAM3 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.
Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) SAM3 (2023), Herbal Leys, requires a herbal ley to be established which contains a mixture of grass, legumes and herbs to provide varied root structures and areas of flowering plants from late spring and during the summer months. The seed mix must include 5 grass species, 3 legume species and 5 herb or wildflower species as a minimum - ryegrass and/or festulolium should not make up more than 70% of the seed mix. SAM3 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.
