New service added to Trevow's grassland management
With increasingly warming, wet and windy weather in the winter season, grasslands have struggled to maintain productivity and yields. Clients are needing a solution and we have responded to there needs with a grassland subsoiler.
At the Oxford Farming conference Defra announced it will combine the SFI and CS offer from the summer of 2024. This will allow applicants to select appropriate actions from both schemes.

For all new contracts, therefore, you may only apply for mechanised treatment of bracken under this capital item.
