Who Can Apply?
All land managers in Scotland can apply, but must be registered with the Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS) and have a business reference number(BRN). If you do not already have a BRN we will give you one.
You do not have to take part in the SFPS or any other IACS scheme (for example Energy Crops Scheme). You can take part if you are already in an agri-environment scheme, such as the Rural Stewardship Scheme (RSS) or Organic Aid Scheme (OAS). However, you may not apply for some of the options on land managed under an existing scheme. Only land in Scotland is eligible.
