PART OF THE FARMING TRANSFORMATION FUND

The slurry infrastructure grants are to replace, improve or expand your slurry storage capacity to six months and increase the use of organic nutrients on your farm – whether you are a land owning farmer or a tenant farmer.

Grant contributions should cover up to 50% of the current market costs of carrying out the work.

Minimum of £25,000 available, maximum of £250,000.

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE GRANTS:

Greenhouse Gases

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Water

Improve water quality

Organic

Increase use of organic nutrients

Emissions

Improve air quality, particularly by reducing emissions of the air pollutant ammonia
