Deadline for Catchment Sensitive Farming grants draws closer

Farmers in England are reminded the deadline for submitting a claim under the Catchment Sensitive Farming grant scheme is 31 January 2015.

Natural England has warned that any claims received from 1 February 2015 onwards will be rejected and not paid.

Farmers can only submit a claim form (CSF2) when all of the approved work has been completed and paid for in full.

Supporting invoices and photographs, where appropriate, must be provided with the claim.

The CSF scheme offers capital grants of up to £10,000 per holding to tackle diffuse water pollution from agriculture.
