Energy Crop Scheme

Miscanthus

We are now helping clients to establish Miscanthus crops under the Energy Crop Scheme. Whether you want Miscanthus  as an energy crop, game cover or a combination of both then we can find an option to suit you.

If you sow at least 3 ha of Miscanthus (per Farm Holding Number) then we can help get you an end user contract (if required) and cane payment plan (where the cost of establishing the crop is paid for by the harvested Miscanthus).

In addition, we can help you with all the agronomy including the soil assessment and test, field preparation advice, rhizomes and delivery, rhizome guarantee and certificate of viability, planting, after care agronomy (3 years), and cane harvesting advice.  

Forward planning is needed to apply for the ECS as there is a long lead time in processing applications. If you are considering planting Miscanthus in spring 2012 then applications need to be made by January 2012 at the very latest.  

Please call us on 01480890686 if you would like to discuss your options in more detail.
