There are three actions for nutrient management in the current Sustainable Farming Incentive offer, all of which aim to optimise the use of nutrients and manage them more efficiently, so reducing costs and delivering environmental benefits on farm.
In this article, we take a look at NUM1 (assessing nutrient management and producing a report) and NUM2 (establishing and maintaining legumes on improved grassland), asking what growers are expected to do, where the actions can be carried out, how much farmers will be paid, and what evidence they will be expected to keep.
For more detail on NUM3 and the best time to establish a legume fallow, refer to the separate article in this month’s Arable Insights.
