It finnished, but if been allocated you've got to July to send proof of purchase.
Allegadly coming out again so they told me.

research your local leader grant, or wait for the next Countryside Productivity Small Grant

I understand it’s being revived sept/Oct time but with the current situation I have my doubts.ive heard some stewardship payments are being stopped because the country just can’t afford it.if I buy a direct drill I’d really like to claim the grant.difficult to know what to do

Not to be negative but my experience last yr was that it limits your options and was so much hassle there are easier ways to earn 9k which hasn’t turned up yet.

On the other hand we got paid for our new drill very quickly with very little fuss.......for the rpa.

What stewardship have you heard to be stopped? surely the signed 5 yr contract and the fact people have spent a fortune on approved seed will open them up for some big claims.

I fully expect my CS payments to be delayed further. They are over a year in arrears already & I'm one of the ones better off than most. The country isn't about to run out of cash, just the resources to administer it.

I haven't looked into it as my business is just to slow to react to these brief schemes. In what way did it limit your options? What were you looking at?

What % did the grant pay for? Thought the max was £9-10k. Maybe 25% of a 3m drill but a top spec 6m would be 10%

Used to be 40% on LEADER.

Ours was an erth direct drill so mid twenties, so the grant went along way. It was over 9k iirc.

Is there likely grant funding in future for these drills?
