The Crofting Counties Agricultural Grant Scheme (CCAGS) provides assistance towards improving the viability of rural business on crofts and similar scale agricultural holdings in the Crofting Counties, and to achieve other benefits such as improved animal health and welfare.
The principle objective of CCAGS is to sustain the economic basis and way of life and so help retain population in crofting areas. Support is available for land improvement, agricultural buildings, access and facilities for keeping livestock. In doing so CCAGS contributes to maintaining and preserving an agricultural base in severely disadvantaged areas and encourages investment in the economic potential of the land.
The guidance for the Crofting Counties Agricultural Grant Scheme is now available on the Crofters Commission website.
