UK Government Reopens Revised Sustainable Farming Incentive with Funding Caps and Reforms The UK government has announced the relaunch of its flagship environmental payment programme for farmers, the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI), after its abrupt closure in March 2025 caused widespread concern across the agricultural sector. Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds confirmed the scheme’s return at the National Farmers' Union (NFU) conference, stating that the revised programme aims to balance environmental protection with food production. The SFI, which replaced EU agricultural subsidies after Brexit, pays farmers in England to carry out environmentally beneficial practices such as soil protection, hedgerow restoration and nature recovery. The updated scheme will be smaller in scope, reducing the number of funded environmental actions from 102 to 71. Individual farm agreements will also be capped at £100,000. Reynolds said these changes are intended to ensure funding is distributed more fairly, after assessments showed that 25% of funds had gone to just 4% of farms. The government plans to prioritize smaller farms and those without existing environmental agreements when applications reopen in June, with other farmers eligible to apply from September. Payments for moorland grazing will increase. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said reforms are designed to make the scheme more accessible, particularly to tenant farmers. Farming organizations broadly welcomed the announcement. NFU President Tom Bradshaw said the revised scheme strikes a better balance between simplification and flexibility. However, concerns remain about whether the allocated budget will meet demand and whether long-term funding stability can be guaranteed. Additional government support includes £120 million for research, innovation and advanced agricultural technology, signaling a broader effort to strengthen productivity and resilience in British farming.

This letter headed "Still suffering" appeared in The Yorkshire Post on 26 February 2026. The writer argues that, contrary to what an earlier correspondent maintained, the UK is not perfect on the issue on animal welfare in farming. Membership of the European Union meant UK activists could campaign for better standards across the continent, but post-Brexit trade deals means have to accept cheap imports from much further afield.

Membership of the #EuropeanUnion meant British animal welfare campaigners could fight for higher farming standards across the continent, says a @yorkshirepost.co.uk letter.

Now #Brexit means trade deals exposing UK farmers to cheap imports.

One of the toughest harvests in recent history has left UK arable farmers facing £828 million in lost revenue. Prolonged weather swings — from waterlogged fields to sudden heat and dryness — have slashed yields, pushed costs up, and shaken confidence across the sector.

My sweetheart told me today, that they have been informed, by a well known International Company, who buy their milk. That their Farm will receive 6p less per litre of milk from the 1st of December. Their costs go up none the less.
