The Farming Investment Fund, a Rural Payments Agency managed scheme has recently been announced. This comprises of two main sections:
- The Farming Equipment and Technology Fund and
- The Farming Transformation Fund.
Both of these funds have potential to help farmers with the costs of installing new water management systems, whether that be new variable speed pumps or large reservoir and pipeline construction projects. More information on eligibility can be found here:

There are various changes made to the fund from the previous grants that have been available, so do check to see if you are eligible as the criteria have changed. For example, the minimum grant in the previous CPSG scheme was £3,000, reduced to £2,000 for eligible items in the new Farming Equipment and Technology Fund
