SFI SOH3 - Multi Species Summer Sown Cover Crop
Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI), SOH3 (2024), Multi-Species Summer Sown Cover Crop, requires there to be a well-established multi-species cover crop present between harvesting a cash crop until either another cash crop, or winter cover crop is sown. This ensures that the soil is protected and provides root growth to improve soil structure and biology. This scheme requires you to sow a mix that contains at least 4 species from at least 2 species from two or more of the following plant families: brassicas, legumes, cereals and grasses, herbs and must be sown in the Summer (usually between June and August). SOH3 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.
