The government is providing £46.7 million in grants through the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund 2025, designed specifically to help small and medium-sized farming businesses invest in modern equipment and technology. This fund supports farmers in upgrading machinery and adopting innovative tools that improve efficiency, increase food production, reduce costs, and enhance sustainability.
You can apply for a grant if your business is based and registered in England and you’re a:
- farmer

- contractor carrying out services to farmers, horticulturalists or forestry owners
The Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF) 2025 includes 3 grants to help you buy equipment or technology to:
- improve productivity

- improve animal health and welfare
You can only submit one application for each theme. Each application must be for between £1,000 and £25,000.
You can apply for FETF 2025 using the Farming Investment Fund service between 29 May and midday on 10 July 2025.
