According to the Scottish Government website at https://www.gov.scot/news/future-farming-investment-scheme/, "a new flexible grants scheme offering farmers and crofters capital investment will open next month (July)."

"The £14 million Future Farming Investment Scheme offers flexible capital grants to support investments in efficiency, nature and climate friendly farming. It will provide priority support in a number of areas, including for new entrants, and young farmers, small farms and tenants."

Furthermore, the scheme will provide upfront payments of up to £20,000 at up to 100% grant rate and give people the freedom to choose the most appropriate capital investment to improve their business.

The Scottish Government recognises the importance of small suckler cow herds in some of our most remote and fragile areas. These cows deliver for biodiversity, landscapes, they help to sustain people and deliver socio-economic benefits, so from the 2026 scheme, farms claiming for 10 calves or fewer will receive a derogation from the calving-interval condition.

Please note that MW Engineering and Fabrication is offering a number of grant-eligible items, so take a look at our online store or give us a call on 01556 492028 to check if we have, or can make, anything for you that your grant will cover.
