Farmers have one last chance to apply for dairy equipment funding

The ICMSA is urging farmers to apply for the Dairy Equipment Scheme before tomorrow’s deadline, noting that the last tranche of funding was “under-subscribed”.

The chairman of the ICMSA’s farm services and environment committee, Patrick Rohan, has called on local Department of Agriculture offices to issue confirmation immediately to the successful applicants.

Mr Rohan said the scheme is an excellent opportunity for farmers to get grant aid for milking machines and milk storage equipment.
