[QUOTE="SolwayFarmer, post: 9207071, member: 58154"] It’s a poorly administered scheme by a company called Ricardo who deliver it for Scottish Government. The idea is that a farmer can apply for funding for a range of different areas/topics they then approve the application for funding, you then select an adviser who does the work sends it to FAS to be reviewed. They then send the report to you, you complete the feedback form and eventually the adviser gets paid the grant which is up to £1000 If the bill is more than that you pay the difference plus the vat. Huge amount of paperwork and faff but then that’s how Ricardo bleed the fund dry with admin costs. If you contact FAS with a general one off query then that generally gets sent to a sac adviser to reply to you but it’ll only be a very brief reply and won’t be an in-depth response. The idea is you engage an adviser through the process above. The idea is good but just really badly managed though Ricardo don’t have a great track record on delivery [/QUOTE]
