Defra have now confirmed that over 8,800 applicants have successfully secured funding through this year’s Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF).

Grant Funding Agreements (GFAs) have been sent to the successful applicants. Together, the successful offers are worth more than £68.4 million.

This funding will help thousands of farmers, horticulturalists, forestry owners and associated contractors invest in new machinery – from autonomous robots that plant seeds with precision to slurry separator systems that reduce both waste and costs.

Next steps for successful applicants

Defra encourages successful applicants to read their agreements carefully to make sure they understand the terms, conditions, and claim deadline, which is midday on 31 March 2026.

Follow the link in your Defra email to accept or decline the offer before the deadline. The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) is available to help with any questions.
