The Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF) 2026 has launched and is now accepting applications.
The Productivity items and specifications under the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF) 2026 set out a detailed list of eligible equipment and technology designed to improve farm efficiency, output, and profitability. Each item in the list must meet specific minimum technical requirements (such as size, capacity, or functionality) to qualify for funding, ensuring that only effective and modern equipment is supported. These items cover a wide range of farming needs, including crop establishment, soil management, precision technology, and automation.
Each item has an estimated average cost based on various suppliers. The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) will cover 40% or 50% of costs, depending on the situation: if the item costs the same as or more than the listed average, the grant is based on that average cost; if the item costs less, the grant is calculated from the actual amount paid.
