Britain to fund upland farming boost with 28 million pounds
Britain plans 28 million pounds in grants over five years to convert marginal upland and hillside acres into productive farming. The scheme would cover half the costs of farmer programs approved by county committees, including 10.9 million pounds for cattle and sheep rearing and 5 million pounds for hill land improvements. Additional 11 million pounds would support broader hill farming efforts.

Hill uplands eyed in new five year farm aid plan
Government sources say 2,000,000 pounds would be kept in reserve if grants fall short. Agricultural use of hills and uplands grows as urban expansion gobbles farmland at 45,000 to 50,000 acres annually. Since 1946 hill farming aid has funded over 4,000 improvement programs costing 4,000,000 pounds. The plan would extend aid further into uplands.
