Following the latest briefing from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), the TFA has updated its rolling members exclusive blog (#338) which offers up to date guidance for TFA Members on 2026 Farm Schemes (SFI 2026), Grants and Funding.
Window 1 of SFI26 opened on 30 June and is expected to remain open for approximately two months, though it may close earlier if the allocated budget is fully committed. The update includes DEFRA’s latest guidance, along with links to the SFI26 webinar recording, the Rural Payments Agency’s How to Apply video, and a cost benefit tool from the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB).
TFA members can access the full exclusive blog update via the members area of the website. The blog is updated on a rolling basis as new information on farm schemes, grants and funding becomes available, and members are encouraged to check back regularly.
