New scheme offers 60% support for nutrient storage
The new scheme came into effect in January 2025, as part of TAMS 3, the Targeted Agriculture Modernisation Schemes.
The new 60% Nutrient Storage Investment Scheme effectively doubles the overall grant funding available, said Seamus Nolan, Teagasc’s Scheme Support Unit Specialist, in a recent Dairy Edge podcast.
Prior to this, farmers in general would have been eligible for only a 40% slurry storage grant, although young trained farmers, women farmers, and organic farmers were already eligible for a 60% grant.
