First Minister John Swinney has today announced details of the next round of the Future Farming Investment Scheme worth a total of £14.25m. New entrants to farming will be eligible for funding of up to 80 per cent of eligible costs. Items delivering environmental and nature benefits will be eligible for funding of up to 100 per cent of the costs. Mr Swinney is visiting agricultural shows across Scotland to hear from farmers, crofters, agricultural workers and rural stakeholders as the Scottish government develops its Rural Renewal Bill. The Future Farming Investment Scheme will help farming and crofting businesses with the cost of selected items.
