Greening Guidance 2016

The new guidance for Greening in 2016 has been published by the RPA.As we have previously written the rules for 2016 remain largely the same however there have been a number of changes;

• oilseed radish is an eligible catch/cover crop
• EFA buffer strips and hedges can be within 5m of the arable land. i.e. they can be separated by a track.

The print version of the guidance is available from https://assets.digital.cabinet-office.gov.uk/media/56096a65ed915d035c000015/Greening_2016_FINAL_GOV_UK.pdf
