The planting density for the summer truffle is 1,100-1,600 trees per hectare. At this density the plantation qualifies for several grants; which significantly contribute to set-up and running costs. The grant system in England is outlined below; similar grants are available in Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
The Woodland Creation Grant (WCG):
This grant provides £1,800 per ha for the establishment of broadleaved trees (for plantations of less than 10ha). There is also an additional contributions payment available under certain circumstances.
Farm Woodland Payments (FWP):
This scheme offers annual payments to compensate for agricultural income foregone. Annual rates of pay vary with circumstance.
SPS Entitlements
The Single Payment Scheme (SPS) was introduced through the Common Agricultural Policy. It replaced the system of subsidies paid to farmers. The old system was based on production, but SPS is based on the area of land farmed.
Environmental Stewardship
Environmental Stewardship (ES) is a government scheme that offers financial rewards for good stewardship and management of the land to improve the quality of the environment.
Area Payment for Nuts Scheme
Payments for the Area Payment for Nuts Scheme (APNS) are linked to the area of eligible nuts grown. APNS is separate to the Single Payment Scheme (SPS), allowing you to make a claim on any nut orchard of a minimum plot size of 0.1 hectares on which you grow nuts.
