Ace. I'm led to think that the only "big money" grants are for water efficiency / protection.

I think you will be surprised then. Two competitions ended on 1st December just gone:

• Farming Innovation Programme - £1m-£3m - Small R&D partnerships
• Feasibility Projects - £200k to £500k - To test feasibility of early stage solutions

Aha that's maybe too big money!

Farming Transformation Fund is what I'm looking for.

there was a farmer R&D the one recently that closed for up to £25k IIRC

anyway - the idea behind this section is to add some expertise of this area to TFF so we are all better educated and more aware off these things

Would it be an idea to have 4 sticky threads each relating to the four geographical countries of the UK?

Pointless me being in Wales trawling through English stuff etc.

Currently:

slurry investment scheme
farming transformation fund (just water management at the current time)

Ah but the Scottish are known for being tight.

I’m a modest man.

£150 per acre/year to stop me from flailing things that some don’t want flailed, and spraying some things that more folks don’t want sprayed.

I’ll let the drains go too and be a welcoming habilitation for ducks.

The 8 acres of pasture Ill have left after 10 years I’ll farm with fluffy native cows with a £500 per head incentive.

Coming from a Welshman I don’t know if I should be annoyed or flattered

Ooh, can we get a grant for a new app based grain assurance scheme?
