Don’t miss out on the opportunity to apply

All three Farming Equipment and Technology grant schemes are currently open for applications.  There are hundreds of eligible items of equipment with many new additions to the list and with funding increased for many items compared to last year’s offer.  The guidance notes include a list of the equipment funded for each scheme

and you apply on the following portal - Farming Investment Fund service.  The fund is competitive and the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) will allocate funding after all applications within an application window have been received and scored. 

The deadline for the farm productivity and slurry grant schemes is midday on 17^th April and the deadline for the Animal Health and Welfare grant is midday on 1^st May 2024.  This is a particularly busy time of year with lambing and calving – don’t miss these deadlines.
