Welcome to the Dorset Agricultural Advisory Service trade stand.

The Dorset Agricultural Advisory Service (DAAS) has been established to meet the needs of farming and land based businesses for information and advice in these ever changing times, particularly with the move away from production subsidies through the introduction of the Single Payment Scheme. Deciding a way forward for your business can involve consideration of many options, whether it is farming profitably without subsidy, diversification by adding value to your farm produce, or development of non farming activities - perhaps using redundant farm buildings, increased environmental management or letting the land to others. DAAS can help you with all of these and many other options.

DAAS has also been contracted by Business Link Wessex to provide the “Gateway” service of the South West Rural Enterprise Gateway in Dorset. This provides free information and signposting for agricultural and rural businesses. 

All of the general advice and signposting information provided by DAAS is free, impartial and confidential.  Our main services are detailed below.
