About

Funding Opportunities
Devon Young Farmers Clubs Travel Scholarships
The Dartington Cattle Breeding Trust annually sponsors three travel scholarships organized through the Devon YFC Travel Programme. These scholarships provide opportunities for young farmers to gain international travel and agricultural experience. One scholarship is specifically designated for a Totnes YFC member, while two additional scholarships are available to members of the South Dartmoor Group of Young Farmers Clubs. The application process is completed through Devon YFC, where members are interviewed for the opportunity to be awarded a scholarship. This funding supports the professional development and global agricultural exposure of young farmers in Devon.
Capital Grant Scheme
A relatively new addition to the grant funding mix offered by the Dartington Cattle Breeding Trust, the Capital Grant Scheme aims to help young farmers and new entrants to purchase capital item(s) that would further their business prospects. Applications are welcome from forward-thinking farmers who are keen to progress within the livestock sector of agriculture. The grant is an award for capital expenditure of up to 50% of an approved project cost to a maximum grant of £10,000. The grant must relate to an aspect of livestock production and must be used primarily to generate income or reduce costs rather than increase asset value. Priority is given to new entrants to farming, and suitable applicants will normally farm in Cornwall and Devon.
