<p>The Government does not have plans for a scrappage scheme to encourage replacement
of older farm machinery.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Countryside Productivity Scheme
has recently offered grant funding for projects in England which improve productivity
in the farming and forestry sectors. This has included offers of grants for machinery
and technology that would result in more efficient use of energy and resources.</p><p>
</p><p>As part of our new agricultural policy, we propose to support farmers to invest
in equipment, technology and infrastructure that will help them to improve productivity
and deliver public goods, such as environmental benefits.</p>
