Northumberland: Know your soils

Join us, in collaboration with Catchment Sensitive Farming (CSF), for an informative day focused on integrating soil biology, physics and chemistry as part of the soil health scorecard.

This meeting aims to foster knowledge sharing and exchange among farmers, providing practical advice on improving and maintaining healthy soils and how your soil management can fit with the new Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI).
