Withy

Know what your land could earn you.

The Sustainable Farming Incentive pays farmers for looking after their land. Working out which bits apply to you is the hard part. Withy does that for you, in plain English.

22 hectares, mostly permanent grassland, some hedgerows, Somerset.

how windows can close, once the budget’s gone

Most farmers either pay an agent to work it out, or give up and leave money on the table.

How it works

1

Enter your SBI

Your land loads automatically from the Rural Payments Agency. No measuring, no typing out field sizes.

2

Tell us about your farm

What you already do, what you want more of, what you’d rather avoid.

3

Get your plan

Which actions suit your land, what each pays, and what you’d need to do differently.

Who it’s for

Small farms without an agent on call.

Farmers running more than one holding.

Anyone who wants to walk into a meeting with their agent already knowing the answers.

Preparation, not replacement.

An agent is the right call for Higher Tier, complex holdings, and capital grants. We’re not pretending otherwise.

What Withy does is get you ready. Turn up already knowing which actions suit your land and roughly what the plan is worth, and you get more out of that meeting and pay for less of your agent’s time working out the basics.

Through the year

Farming doesn’t stop when you’ve signed the agreement.

Autumn

Log this year's yield and output, and review what worked.

Winter

Input planning, and SFI window prep if one is opening.

Spring

Planting and turnout, tied to what you've committed to.

Summer

Lighter-touch monitoring, so nothing catches you out.

And once you’re in an agreement, we track the small print: the hedge you can’t cut before March, the ley you have to maintain. Miss one and it can cost you the payment.

When the rules change

Schemes change every year.

In SFI26, the herbal ley payment dropped from £382 a hectare to £224.

If something changes that affects an action in your plan, we tell you — and what it means for your farm, rather than a link to a policy document.

What Withy is not

We’re not part of Defra or the Rural Payments Agency, and we’re not connected to them.

We don’t submit your application. That still happens on GOV.UK.

We don’t give legal, financial or agronomic advice. Payment figures are estimates based on published rates, not guarantees.
