Defra has just announced that SFI 2026 will be reformed and will open in June 2026. 

We are expecting two application windows: 

June – Small farms and farmers without existing agreements can apply* 

September – This will be open to all farmers 

We are unsure how long the windows will be open for. Please get in touch with your local office to speak to an agent 

* Definition of small farms yet to be announced
