We had a guy out who has been doing a lot of farms cameras around our area and he said for that spec you would be looking upwards of £1k. Whereas ones that don't pan are £120ish. So he recommends having more cameras that don't move covering the same area as you will have a lot more vantage points at once. He also made the point that a moveable one only records where you have left it looking at. This made us think certainly the grant for cameras is no where near worthwhile pursuing

Dribble bar is listed as a fundable item.
A quick search suggests that splash plates will be banned from 2025. But then I found something saying 2022 ?
Is a ban a cast iron certainty or just something that is proposed ? Is a dribble bar going to be the minimum requirement or will there be adaptors to a splash plate ?
Thanks.

I think it is inevitable splash plates will be banned. If I was buying a tanker now I would at the very least make sure it was compatible with a trailer shoe or dribble bar.

Decided going to leave it, was only really looking for something else to get the spend up to the minimum, only thing that is really needed is the eid reader and it's not enough money on its own. Had a good draw from round 2 will leave it at that.

Has anyone clarified the cost regarding the slurry reeler?
It says it's supposed to include pipe. But at that standard cost. It is not possible to buy pipe and reeler?

Strictly speaking.... the grant is for livestock monitoring... not farm security. ;)

However, I can envisage a couple on buildings where the pan would do both.... :ROFLMAO:

We are looking to put them in the cow yards to monitor the cows and calves, I think more angles would be better as you can guarantee someone will stand right in front of the problem one 🤣....

The one on the forecourt will of course be to monitor the bull pens not for security 😉

If you claim for multiple items that amount to more than the £12,000 maximum amount, is it possible to only claim a partial amount on an item? Or will it get thrown out?

my situation too. want some smaller things but rather do it as and when i want and not have someone with a clip board potentially turn up wanting to see the said items.

i had claimed in a previous round, about £6k was looking at direct drill but could not proceed as not enough grant available. which I knew but 6k toward it would of been ok. but computer said no.

I haven't claimed in either of the previous rounds so wondered if I could max out this round
