The Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF) opens for applications today (29th May).
The window to apply will be open for 6 weeks, closing midday on the 10th of July.
A total of £46.7 million will be available for farmers, growers, foresters, and contractors through the FETF, which provides grants for machinery, equipment, and technology to help cut costs and boost efficiency in your farming or forestry business.
Funding is available under three themes:
• Productivity
• Slurry Management
• Animal Health and Welfare
You can apply for each of the grant themes but can only submit one application for each theme.
Grants will range from £1,000 to a maximum of £25,000 per theme, covering a percentage of each item’s cost.
The fund is competitive, with each theme having its own scoring criteria.
Once the application window closes, all applications will be reviewed and scored. You may not receive all, or any, of the funding you apply for, and you must not order or pay for any items before receiving a grant agreement offer.
