Ceres Rural is pleased to be supporting the next stage of Routes to Regen, led by The Royal Countryside Fund.

Are you planning ahead for SFI?

The SFI window opens in June for farms under 50ha and those that have not claimed before, farms which have previously claimed will need to wait until the next opening in September, making now the perfect time to think about how these options can fit into your rotation.

As this clover in Suffolk shows, SFI actions don’t just deliver agronomic and environmental benefits, they can also look great in the field. From improving soil health to supporting biodiversity, there are plenty of options that work hard and add visual appeal.

If you’re considering your next steps, now’s a good time to map out what could work on your farm.

👉 Drop us a DM or email [email protected] to talk through your SFI plans ahead of the June window.

A brilliant day today attending the Essex CLA AGM at Lord Rayleigh Farms.

The event included a guided tour around the stunning village and gardens, alongside an insightful update from CLA President Gavin Lane and a talk from local MP Priti Patel discussing key topics affecting the rural and farming community.

One of the most fascinating parts of the visit was seeing the historic steps where sound was proven to travel in waves 👀

📍 Saturday 16th May – Bedfordshire Young Farmers Rally
Find Ceres Group on Pitch E7, where we’ll be serving a Ploughman’s Lunch from 12 noon, with refreshments available all day ☕

📍 Sunday 17th May – Essex Young Farmers Show
The Ceres team will be out in force and looking forward to another fantastic day.

We hope to see you there!

Stay tuned to see where else we’ll be heading during this event season…

This season’s oilseed r**e crops are some of the strongest we’ve seen in years!

Strong autumn establishment, good spring growth and plenty of ‘corner-to-corner’ flowering have helped set crops up for success, with kinder conditions, residual nitrogen and more considered cabbage stem flea beetle management all playing a part.

But the key message now? Don’t lose focus. Maintaining high standards through harvest and into next autumn will be critical to preventing CSFB pressure from rebuilding.

Our latest article highlights 10 shared strategies to reduce CSFB risk and improve establishment resilience, bringing together research, trial data and real on-farm experience.
