Here at Anglia Rural Consultants, we are able to help assist you with submitting grant applications, to enable you to focus and get on with the day job of farming and food production. As of June 2022 Defra says:
‘Launching later this year as part of the Farming Investment Fund, slurry storage grants will help livestock farmers already using a slurry system to upgrade their storage to reach 6 months capacity.
All pig, dairy and beef farmers already using a slurry system can apply.
The grant can be used to:
• Replace existing stores that are no longer fit for purpose
• Build additional storage if current stores are compliant
• Expand otherwise compliant storage, e.g. by adding another ring to a steel tank
The grant will cover 50% of eligible costs and you can apply through a 2-stage process, starting with an online eligibility checker (opening in the autumn), followed by a full application (over the winter). The minimum grant is £25,000 and the maximum £250,000.’
