“I really do recommend having a chat with your agent.
Speaking to someone who knows exactly what they are doing
can be both reassuring and motivating – they are there to
advise you. They are specialists in their field who can open
doors for you which you might never be aware of otherwise.”
Looking to the future Jonathan anticipates that the
next round of funding will be released by the end of
October through the Farming Investment Fund with two
strands to this:
1) The Farming Equipment and Technology Fund –
funding for equipment similar to the small grant
scheme.
2) The Farm Transformation Fund which will
provide larger investment to drive productivity
and technology and is likely to be similar to the
Improving Farm Productivity scheme, which
facilitated the purchase of robotic equipment for
Messrs Threlfell.
Concluding Jonathan is keen to point out that:
“There is a huge amount of change to come over the
next few years and there will be a massive drive to ensure
that farming businesses are fit for the future. So people
need to start thinking about how they could invest in
their business going forward and what direction they
want to take their business. The emphasis will be on a
high level of productivity and efficiencies, environmental
and carbon credentials and future proofing your business
income as we see the reduction in BPS funding.”
