The deadline for the Calf Investment Scheme is fast approaching

ICMSA is calling on the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue, to reopen the Calf Investment Scheme (CIS) as soon as possible.  

The Minister for Agriculture, Food and Marine is being called upon to reopen the Calf Investment Scheme (CIS) “immediately” so that farmers can get approval for calf equipment in advance of the 2021 calving season.

With only 700 claims for payment submitted out of a total of 2,400 applications, participants are being reminded this week that the closing date for submissions under the Scheme is Wednesday, September 30, next.
