Arla/McDonald’s grant info

- Start date
+ a Morrisons cost compensation contractMrs Chips and I are off to the factory on Thursday to see the Discovery being built........ However while that is true we will also see the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport being built and sadly none of them we be mine , I just exchanged an off roading experience for a factory tour as Mrs Chips is a bit of a scaredy cat !
However I was successful in securing grant funding from McDonalds which I'm really pleased about ( Calf Housing), this will I assure you all, have nowt to do with me being an Arla rep as I know other reps who were not successful , I guess I was just lucky .

The following is from KITE (near enough word for word although not quite), and there will another round later this year so it may be worth knowing if it helps you next time .
300 applications with just under £160k awarded on this round , with 40% going to organic farmers inline with the amount of organic milk mcdonalds buy .
8 grants have been awarded to organic farmers and 11 to conventional .
All applications were made anonymous and were scored independently by 3 separate people , cross checks were done to make sure the scoring was to the same standard.
A short list of 50 applicants were then forwarded to the next round and were scrutinised and debated (anonymously again) by 5 independent assessors, including 1 farmer and a final selection made .
The average score for the winning 11 applications for conventional pool was 60/65 and thus the bar is set quite high to be successful due to the high amount of applications . As a lot of the applications were for the same items like crushes or mattresses you really had to a good justification for how it was going to benefit ,
1 Animal welfare
2 proportion of your herd that benefit
3 economic benefit for your herd
4 impact on the enviroment

That I'm afraid I can't help on
Yes yes..... absolutely delighted with my price and Arla’s performance but as always communication is pee pee
Sick of the weather so instead of kicking the dog!.. so as I’ve said 31533 members one’s been successful. Ok then power of tff with resilience 500 about to kick off how’s about we all agree to boycott until some noise from McDonald’s shouldn’t be a problem when only say 10 of us tff’ers applied?

I thought there was £500k available, why only £160k awarded? How many application rounds are they planning?
