Farm Grants round-up: Which ones could benefit you?

Henry Clemons, an associate in rural consultancy at Knight Frank said he was still concerned by the 'limited scope of eligible items' and the 'discrepancy between the percentage paid and the actual costs' incurred by businesses when it comes to government grant funding.

Scotland's Farm Advisory Service runs through what grants are open to applications for Scottish farmers and crofters for the remainder of the year.

Consultant and owner of SRH Agribusiness Simon Haley said the Future Farming Resilience Fund was a 'valuable service and helpful resource' that would be missed if the new Government decides not to extend the support.
