Thank you, Michelle. The sustainable farming investment scheme closed to applications on 3 September. Almost 4,000 businesses from all farming sectors applied. There was strong interest in the scheme. On 8 October, 1,415 letters of offer to the value of just over £15 million were issued. Recipients have 28 days to accept their offer on the scheme portal.
