With TAMS II approvals due to start, it is important for farmers planning on starting work on slatted sheds or dairy collection yards to be aware of the specifications required for concrete tanks and concrete slats. The specifications for concrete tanks were recently upgraded on the Department of Agriculture’s website. All farmers carrying out building work under TAMS should make themselves aware of the specifications required before starting. Grant money will not be paid or penalties will be applied if the specifications aren’t followed. Here is a summary of what to look out for when building a concrete tank. More information is available on the Department’s website.
