[su_box title=”Farming 2020 Project” box_color=”#e2e2e2″ title_color=”#000″ radius=”0″]
Achieving the 2020 Vision for Herefordshire’s Family Farms
The Herefordshire Rural Hub launched this project in April, with support from The Prince’s Countryside Fund, to provide a unique package of business support for farming families in Herefordshire.
We have been seeking family farming businesses to take part in this 3-year project with the aim of helping them to achieve long term viability in these challenging times. A bespoke plan will be put together for each farm, to include free mentoring and business support
The feedback from those who have signed up has been that the scheme provides an excellent opportunity for families to all sit down together and discuss the future, a necessary starting point to aid planning in these uncertain times.
If you would like further information about the project please contact the Project Facilitator, Sarah Starkey.
Email: farming2020@herefordshireruralhub.co.uk or Telephone: 07974 438 517
Update in October 2017 – the project is progressing well, and we are very pleased to say that we now have our full quota of family farming businesses taking part in this project.

[su_box title=”Farm Herefordshire” box_color=”#e2e2e2″ title_color=”#000″ radius=”0″]Farm Herefordshire is a group of organisations that actively support farming in Herefordshire through the promotion of good practice, training and advice.
Herefordshire faces challenges in meeting the phosphate targets of the River Wye’s Special Area of Conservation. All industries, including agriculture, will be expected to reduce their phosphate contribution proportionally.
The Farm Herefordshire initiative will actively support farmers in addressing these challenges by promoting good practice, facilitating innovative approaches and ensuring that the county’s farmers and growers have access to practical and user-friendly advice.

From September 1st 2019 the Jack Hughes Fund has been extended to include staff aged over 40 years working on a Herefordshire farm. This is limited to one employee per farming business per annum. The amount of funding available remains up to a maximum of £70% of the course but has been increased to an overall maximum of £200.
In 2015 the Herefordshire Community Foundation took on the management of funds that were originally raised by the Herefordshire Proficiency Test Committee (HPTC). This is being used to support a County-wide training fund that is named after the late Jack Hughes, who was the founder of Herefordshire PTC, and did so much work in ensuring that training skills were accessible and available to the farming community in Herefordshire and in particular for young farmers.
The current programme is available for farmers and farm staff aged over 40 years and will specifically provide funds to support training as below:
- retraining or upskilling as they are leaving the industry
- training to support a new farm diversification enterprise
- training or business support for succession planning
Funding will also be available for farm related training courses (examples as below) but other courses will be considered on application:
- Safe use of pesticides – PA1, PA2, PA6
- Rodent control on farms
- Emergency first aid
- Food safety (Basic Food Hygiene)
- Chainsaw Maintenance & Cross Cutting (CS30)
The Jack Hughes Fund will fund up to a maximum of 70% of the cost of training or costs up to a maximum of £200. Funding will be limited to one family member/employee per annum.
The funding is easy to access but please note that the project will not support training retrospectively and places will be limited. Applicants need to be resident in Herefordshire.
- Select which course you would like to go on and book onto it.
- Contact Herefordshire Community Foundation for application form.
- Complete the form and return to the address below.
