Farmers are now able to apply for grants worth up to £25,000 each to invest in machinery that boosts farm productivity.
Applications for the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF) opened on 29 May and will close in 6 weeks at midday on 10 July.
Grants are available for boosting productivity, managing slurry or improving animal health and welfare.
From seed-planting robots that reduce labour costs, to slurry separator systems that bring down reliance on expensive fertilisers, this new round of the popular FETF will make £46.7m available to boost profitability by helping farmers cut costs while increasing efficiency.
