Details of 2023 fodder support scheme revealed
'The feedback on activity on dairy farms is that there was no issue in respect of making fodder.'
The average payment of €735 which about 71,000 farmers are getting from the 2022 fodder scheme will buy a tonne of CAN fertiliser, but only those who get the maximum payment of €1,000 will have enough to buy protected urea.
The scheme was put in place to help farmers (other than milk producers) meet the significantly increased expenses such as fertiliser, energy, and silage wrapping, involved in producing winter fodder.
