Farm Equipment and Technology Fund: a guide to applying

The Farm Equipment and Technology Fund offers three separate grants opportunities, for equipment to improve animal health, improve productivity, and manage slurry. Successful applicants can access grants worth a minimum of £1,000 and a maximum of £50,000 (£25,000 for animal welfare items). As a competitive fund, getting your application right is critical to improving your chances of success.

In this workshop, we will explore the FETF, focusing on:

• Who is eligible for funding, and what capital items are prioritised
• The application process, including tips and suggestions for how to maximise your eligibility
• Changes to the current application window for FETP, including the Farming Investment Fund application service
• How applications are processed and your next steps

This is an online session, delivered via Zoom. Joining details will be sent to you 48 hours before the workshop.
