Cruso & Wilkin keep up to date with all Government subsidies and RDPE rural grant schemes. Our team of agricultural Surveyors provide expert advice to farmers, landowners and rural businesses to maximise their returns. As land managers, our clients are responsible for maintaining and enhancing the countryside, however, this requires time and expense. Our experienced specialists are well placed to advise on enhancing your income with the following grants and subsidies.
We are regularly in contact with the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) which allows us to deal with any problems our clients may encounter efficiently and correctly. Our professionals are all fellows of the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers (CAAV) which gives us an additional platform to stand on and be heard by the RPA and DEFRA.
Subsidies, Environmental and Rural Grant Schemes
As we are all aware the applications process and RPA systems can be a frustrating and poorly implemented, with errors being made by the RPA through no fault of claimants. We provide a claim service from start to finish, not only submitting your claim but dealing with incorrect payment queries, re-mapping, land transfers, cross compliance and RPA inspections and their findings.
Over the past decades, stewardship agreements have been offering annual payments for managing land environmentally, as well as capital grant aid. These agreements can prove highly lucrative, but the right advice is essential to ensure land managers get the most out of the scheme. We understand the importance of your business alongside the scheme requirements, ensuring we tailor an agreement to your needs.
Our team has a commercial focus and a history of successfully securing thousands of pounds of capital grant aid for farming clients. Our successful applicants have secured funding for projects ranging from glamping sites through to mobile cattle handling facilities and satellite steering equipment.
As well as one-off grants we are able to offer a comprehensive service on both current and historical land management schemes including Sustainable Farming Incentive, Mid-Tier and Higher Tier Countryside Stewardship, Capital Grants, Farming Equipment & Technology Grants, Landscape Recovery, Local Nature Recovery and English Woodland Grant Schemes.
