What is the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund?
The Farming Equipment and Technology Fund is a grant towards listed items for productivity, slurry or animal health, for farmers and contractors in England. The Rural Payments Agency runs it. The 2026 window closed at midday on 28 April 2026. A closed window is not a promise of another one. Check the RPA page before you buy the kit.

Can I buy the item first?
No. These rounds are built around items that have not already been ordered. Buying first is a common way to fall outside the rules.
Does it cover Wales or Scotland?
This entry is England. Scotland and Wales publish their own rural schemes. A postcode decides which set you read.
