The Farming and Equipment Fund has been launched by Government to support farmers with boosting productivity, reducing waste and cutting the costs whilst making your business more environmentally sustainable for the future.

Farmers are generally at the forefront of technology, but that can mean high investment costs which is why the Government is offering money for over 90 pieces of equipment that will help support farm work, from rainwater harvesting, to pest control, to basics like shears and and tractor add-ons to focus slurry spreading.

Some farmers have already taken advantage of the fund and I have sent the details to our local NFU rep but if you would like to take a look and apply as a local farmer, you can do so using the link below:

As always if I can help support the bid or be of assistance with any other farming issues, let me know and I will raise it with the Department.
