FETF: improving productivity and slurry management grants – available now!
It’s official! You can now apply for a productivity and slurry management grant through the 2024 Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF).
This allows us to provide grants for farming equipment and technology which will help to support improvements in things such as productivity, slurry management and animal health and welfare.
The FETF grants for productivity and slurry management items are available now (grants for animal health and welfare items being available later in March) to apply for and the deadline for applications is midday 17th April 2024 so act fast!
This is a competitive fund where you can apply for 1 grant from each of the 3 themes, these are:
- a minimum of £1,000 and a maximum of £50,000 towards productivity items
- a minimum of £1,000 and a maximum of £50,000 towards slurry items
- a minimum of £1,000 and a maximum of £25,000 towards animal health and welfare items
The Government will pay a percentage of the cost depending on the item. Many items compared to last year will have an increased percentage and the funding will go toward either:
- the average cost of the item – if an item costs you the same or more than the expected average cost in the item list
- the actual cost you pay for the item – if an item costs you less than the expected average cost in the item list.
As always, should you have any questions in regards to the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund, then you can give us a call to speak to one of the professionals.
