ADAS, in partnership with Scottish Agricultural Colleges (SAC) and Sentry Business Solutions, are offering funded and free business advice and resilience support to farmers in England as part of the wider Defra Future Farming Resilience Funds (FFRF) scheme. In order to help farmers and landowners navigate the agricultural transition, ADAS are providing an extensive range of resources and guidance.

In order to qualify for free farm business support, farmers/landowners must:

  • Farm within England (Farms that stretch across borders with Wales or Scotland can apply if they have some land in England)
  • Be in receipt of basic payments (note, you may be asked to provide your SBI number)

Participants who have already taken part in FFRF (Initial and/or Interim Phases with any provider) or have applied for the Exit Scheme can also apply.

New clients can take advantage of the following resources:

  • 1:1 Business Reviews
  • 1:1 In-depth Tailored Advice (technical, business, and environmental)
  • Awareness Events
  • Skills Development Workshops

Clients that have previously taken advantage of the FFRF scheme can access:

In addition, our helpline is available for any specific or general questions about the project. Call us on 03301 755 839. Our admin team will take details of your query and then recommend the next step, such as a visit by a consultant for a farm business review or to direct you to a relevant workshop.
