Our land agent did it for us as they have a high success rate and we wanted to make sure we got the grant. I think there will be more grant funding. Do your research now to find out which GPS equipment you want and apply early if there is another round of funding.

I applied myself and was successful in round 3. Got top con rtk system for mf 7620. Form took a while and to do to make sure got all info correct. Several times thought is it worth it for time it was taking or can see why people employ agents to fill it in. Glad perciverd now it's on tractor and in use.

Will this grant come round again, and if so, could it be used on the portable units such as the patchwork black box?

Minimum claim size was (total project) was £6250, of which £2500 could be grant funded so not much help for smaller projects.
Just wondering, once you have purchased your grant eligible items, I assume you send off a copy of the invoice for the item and is there anything else you need to do to prove you have purchased the agreed item? We are eligible for several different things, GPS included, as well as livestock related items. Many thanks

Round 3 is being processed now as we had a call yesterday about it saying it will be paid next week. I believe some have already received theirs.
