Improve Farm Productivity with Grant-Eligible Equipment Before the Application Deadline.

The 2026 application window for the Farming Equipment & Technology Fund (FETF) opens on 17th March 2026, with applications closing on 28 April 2026.

This government grant gives farmers in England the opportunity to install new equipment or upgrade existing systems to improve productivity, strengthen slurry management, and support better overall farm management.

If you're planning to invest in new equipment this year, the FETF Grant 2026 could help cover a significant portion of the cost.

 

How does the FETF grant work?

Farmers can apply for FETF funding to help purchase equipment that supports::

» Improved farm productivity

» Animal health and welfare

Full eligibility criteria and product lists are available on the government website. You can apply for multiple grants across the three categories, depending on the equipment you require.

If your application is successful, you may receive up to £25,000 per category, covering approximately 40–60% of the cost of the approved item.

The FETF Grant 2026 presents an excellent opportunity to invest in equipment that can improve farm efficiency and reduce long term operating costs.

However, many items must be installed and operational before you submit your claim, so it’s important to plan ahead and allow enough time for delivery and installation.

The deadline for 2026 FETF applications is 28 April 2026. Find out more about the grant and how to apply.
