Emergency Podcast: Defra pulls plug on Sustainable Farming Incentive

In this emergency episode, we examine the implications of Defra's decision to stop accepting applications for its flagship agri-environment scheme. The shock announcement to draw a line under the Sustainable Farming Incentive was announced at 6pm Tuesday, 11 March. Defra gave farmers no notice of the decision, which came into effect with immediate effect, leaving would-be applicants high and dry. We look at the reasons for the announcement – and where it leaves farmers and farm businesses across England.
