With the extended deadline, producers can still apply for grants for a range of equipment under the 2026 round of the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF). The application window will now remain open until midday May 12.
Under FETF 2026, farmers can apply for up to three grants between £1,000 and £25,000 – one each from the three grant themes: Productivity, Slurry, and Animal Health and Welfare (AHW). The scheme is competitive, meaning applicants may not receive any, or all, of the funding applied for.
All items must be new or ex display and must meet the relevant minimum specifications in each list.
Defra has calculated an expected average cost for each item, based on costs from a cross-section of suppliers. RPA will pay a grant amount of 40% or 50% towards either:
- The average cost of the item – if an item costs the same or more than the expected average cost in the item lists, or
- The actual cost paid for the item – if an item costs less than the expected average cost in the item lists.
