Farming has always had its ups and downs, but falling BPS payments and rising input costs make planning harder than ever. Yet, with change comes opportunity – and that’s where Ceres Rural is ready to help you succeed with our free farm business advice. Our experienced consultants provide farm management and strategic business advice, already guiding hundreds of farmers through this challenging transition.

We use unrivalled expertise and detailed analysis to assess your business performance, identifying strengths, weaknesses, risks, and opportunities. From there, we create a clear, actionable plan to improve resilience and prepare for the post-BPS future.

The best part? We deliver all this at no cost under Defra’s Future Farming Resilience Fund. Through this scheme, Ceres Rural offers free consultancy services to any farmer or land manager receiving BPS in England, including those who previously accessed support. For full details, see Defra’s blog about the scheme.

  • Business Plan
  • Business Review

Access to this free advice is first-come, first-served, and demand will exceed supply. Don’t delay – register your interest today via our website, email futurefarming@ceresrural.co.uk, or call 01223 679679. We look forward to working with you to future-proof your business.
