SFI26 scheme information is now available

Applications are expected to open from 30 June 2026 for small farms and farms without an existing ELM revenue agreement, with a wider application window opening in September 2026.

The published information includes near-final terms and conditions, scheme rules, action requirements and application guidance, allowing farmers to review the offer and start planning ahead of the final documents being released later in June. SFI26 builds on the 2024 scheme, retaining most existing features while simplifying and streamlining the offer.
