Farm Businesses in Zone 2 are encouraged to apply for the Soil Nutrient Health Scheme
On 26th June, zone 2 of the Soil Nutrient Health Scheme (SNHS) opened, covering Fermanagh, the west of Country Armagh and South Tyrone. Farm businesses located in these areas are strongly encouraged to register for the scheme using the following link - www.daera-ni.gov.uk/onlineservices. Participating in the scheme is a condition of receiving future funding from DAERA such as the new Farm Sustainability Payment. The closing date is 31 August 2023.
The SNHS provides each farm business with important information on soil nutrient levels for each field and a baseline estimate of the amount of carbon stored in the soils, hedgerows and trees.
