Farming Connect offers a variety of advice and support that aids with the retention of traditional farming practices. Additionally, in 2024 £6.0m has been allocated to support small-scale capital projects on farms through the Small Grants – Environment scheme. Many of the capital works require the skills of craftspeople, such as hedge laying and drystone walling.
