Farm safety investment scheme opens for applications

All farmers are being urged to consider this funding for "practical investments to make their farms safer", Minister of State with responsibility for farm safety Martin Heydon has said.

The Farm Safety Capital Investment Scheme under the new Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme (TAMS 3) is now open for applications. 

This is the first time that farm safety investments have their own standalone scheme under TAMS and have been enhanced with a higher grant rate of 60% up to the applicable maximum investment ceiling of €90,000 per holding.
