The €35.8m allocation will provide funding for:
The Young Farmer Capital Investment Scheme which will be at the higher grant rate of 60%
Dairy equipment
Organic capital investments
Pig and poultry
Sheep fencing
It will also provide funding for the recently opened Animal Welfare, Safety and Nutrient Storage Scheme and the Low Emission Slurry Spreading Scheme (LESS).
The decision to include sheep fencing stems from the IFA’s call for stronger supports in the sheep sector at the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture on Tuesday 6 October. The IFA’s proposal was met with positivity from the committee who agreed that it’s a “no-brainer”. IFA president Eddie Downey stressed the need for strong TAMS II funding for sheep investments to include sheep fencing.
