The next round of  Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF) 2026 , providing farmers and land-based businesses in England with grant funding to invest in equipment that boosts productivity, improves slurry management and strengthens animal health and welfare.

For many farm businesses, this presents an important opportunity to secure financial support towards machinery upgrades that deliver measurable efficiency gains and environmental improvements.

Productivity and Slurry Grants – What’s Available?
Under the 2026 scheme, farmers can apply for capital grants within three themes:

• Productivity – supporting technology and machinery that improves operational efficiency and output.
• Slurry Management – funding equipment that enhances slurry handling, nutrient use and environmental compliance.
• Animal Health and Welfare – improving livestock conditions and farm biosecurity.

Grant awards typically range from £1,000 up to £25,000 per theme, with applications assessed competitively by the Rural Payments Agency.
