£11 million is being offered to support farmers as they move to a controversial new subsidy scheme.
The Deputy First Minister visited a farm near Cowbridge to announce extra funding for the Farming Connect programme.
It comes after the Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS) was introduced at the start of the year - nearly a decade since the Brexit referendum - with farmers given until mid-May to apply.
Initial plans for the scheme were met with a series of protests during 2024 - with farmers union NFU Cymru warning that while it was now acceptable to the industry following talks with ministers, the new system still needed work.
The Welsh Government says the programme will play an "integral part" of the SFS, helping farm businesses to become more resilient and productive by focusing on such as improving soil health, benchmarking and animal welfare.
Huw Irranca Davies, who is also the secretary for climate change, said: "That support is more important than ever."
"Farming Connect will play a key role in helping farmers move towards the Sustainable Farming Scheme, and this funding shows our commitment to supporting them through that transition. I’d encourage farmers to find out more and make the most of the support available.”
More than 14,000 businesses have receieved support from Farming Connect, incluiding the Penllyn Estate Farm.
Tom Homfray, managing partner at Penllyn, said: "Members of our team have undertaken essential training courses on a huge variety of machines, including telehandlers, sprayers, chainsaws and quad bikes."
"They supported our farm manager with the completion of his BASIS foundation course, and our shepherd has done courses on grassland, nutrition and parasite management."
"They have also helped us to prepare business plans for grant applications. It is a really good use of public money; they enhance technical skills, improve farm safety, provide opportunities to network, and ultimately help to boost farm profitability through better performance."
