This might be in the dairy or other forums so apologies if duplicating but because it is cross sector I'm posting in here. Defra has opened the final round today, closing date for applications is 4 Nov so don't hang about!
Just beat me to it.

Way I read it you can have £12k again just not on the same items as last time?
This from the instructions, --- £12k limit over all 3 rounds -
If you applied for Round 1 and 2, and your applications were successful, but did not reach the £12,000 maximum, you can apply in Round 3. However the grant value of your Round 3 application must be £3,000 or more. Therefore if you received more than £9,000 grant in total from Round 1 and 2, you will not be eligible to apply under Round 3.

Read it again... between £0 and £9000 in round 1 you can claim, over £9000 in round one and you cant.

The reason you can apply again is because the minimum application must be for more than £3k. Your second application is still to a £12k limit when combined with previous applications. You do not get another £12k even if your round 1 application was less than £9k

It seems you can't get a weather station even though it's listed as an option because the grant amount would be less than the minimum £3000. Does this mean I'd have to apply for something else as well?

Yes, and remember its the grant amount, not the standard cost

Anyone suggest makes of direct drill that are priced at £24k.
It also says min till or strip till drills aren’t eligible . What is a Claydon drill classed as.?

I've waited for someone will say it.......

But they haven't.

A Triton is only 15k.....🙊

Allegedly..... 🙄
Oh right. I hadn’t thought of that.
I see a very basic Moore , can be bought for just under £24k.
A neighbour bought a Claydon with a grant in the first round , which I didnt think was a direct drill .

I was wondering about the claydon, you can now get them with the low disturbance twin tine set up so should be eligible like that? And if you wanted you could buy a separate set of standard coulter arms not as part of the grant.

A 3m weaving sabre tine starts at just over 24k I believe

From what I can glean, it's all the same as round 2 apart from a couple of items have been dropped.

Also the specification have altered on a few items.

Has anyone checked if the values are the same?
