Now is the time to adopt autonomous technology

We are excited to know the start of applications for the Improving Farm Productivity grant in England, is now open to farmers, growers, and affiliated contractors. This grant, facilitates investments in Robotic Autonomous Tractors with coverage extending up to 50% of costs. Don’t miss this opportunity to boost farm productivity and contribute to sustainable agriculture. The eligibility criteria and application process, outlined in the guidance, involves an online checker followed by a comprehensive application which is only accessible for eight weeks, concluding on 21 March 2024.

Peter Robinson, Product Specialist for AgXeed, commented, “With decades of evolution, autonomous tractors are now commercially available here in the UK, addressing the labour shortage in agriculture. Over the past three years, Agxeed, Agrointelli, and Naio have positioned themselves well in the UK market, offering farmers competitive solutions that can operate 24/7. This grant serves as crucial assistance for farmers looking to adopt this technology, emphasising the importance of applying now in February while the application window is open, in collaboration with their advisors.”
