Technology for Sustainability: Calls for grant aid for LESS equipment 

The co-ops want grants for farm contractors to move to LESS. File Picture.  

Co-ops have called for grant aid to be kept in place for low emissions slurry (LESS) equipment, under the new CAP in 2023, and suggested that DAFM develop a package including low-cost finance or tax incentives to help agricultural contractors move away from use of traditional splash plate equipment.

LESS is already compulsory for nitrates derogation farmers.
