Navigating UK Farm
Grants & Government Schemes
Strategic Funding to Drive Your Farm’s Profitability.
The landscape of UK agricultural support has undergone a generational shift. From the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) to Countryside Stewardship and productivity grants, Siggs & Co Ltd helps you navigate the complexity of the post-Brexit funding environment to secure the investment your business deserves.
Strategic Funding Guidance
Maximising Your Revenue in the Agricultural Transition
Securing government funding is no longer just about filling in forms; it is about strategic alignment. Every scheme you enter should not only provide a payment but should also complement your long-term business goals—whether that is increasing productivity, managing soil health, or diversifying your income.
Based in the heart of the South West, our consultants are specialists in the nuances of the latest Defra and Rural Payments Agency (RPA) initiatives. We take the administrative burden off your shoulders, ensuring your applications are accurate, compliant, and—most importantly—optimised for maximum financial return.
Core Funding Opportunities
Strategic Schemes for the Modern Farm
The shift from the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) to “Public Goods for Public Money” requires a new level of administrative precision. We specialise in identifying which combination of actions will yield the highest return for your specific land type and enterprise.
Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI)
The SFI is the cornerstone of the new agricultural policy. We help you select from over 100 available actions—from soil health and nutrient management to integrated pest management—ensuring you benefit from quarterly payments and the annual management payment.
Countryside Stewardship (CS) Higher & Mid-Tier
For farms with significant environmental assets or complex habitats, Countryside Stewardship offers substantial revenue and capital funding. We manage the detailed application process for both Mid-Tier and the invitation-only Higher Tier schemes.
Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF)
Securing grants for productivity, slurry management, and animal welfare requires fast action during competitive windows. We monitor these opportunities to ensure you are "application-ready" when windows open, helping you secure up to £50,000 toward vital infrastructure.
Farming in Protected Landscapes (FiPL)
For our clients in National Parks or Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs), we unlock specific funding for projects that support nature recovery, climate mitigation, and community engagement.
Why Professional Guidance Matters
Beyond the Application Form
Many farmers attempt these applications in-house, only to find themselves tied into agreements that are difficult to manage or offer poor financial returns. Professional guidance ensures your funding works for your business, not against it.
We provide the Siggs & Co "Triple Check":
Compliance Audit
We ensure that every action you commit to is achievable and won't trigger penalties during an RPA inspection.
Profitability Analysis
We calculate the true margin of each scheme action, factoring in seed costs, labour, and lost production to ensure it actually adds to your bottom line.
Scheme Stacking
We identify where SFI, CS, and Private Finance (such as carbon or biodiversity credits) can be layered on the same land parcel to maximise total revenue.
Secure Your Farm’s Financial Future
Don’t leave money on the table or get caught in a restrictive agreement. Let Siggs & Co Ltd turn complex government policy into a clear, profitable strategy for your business.
