New Farming Investment Fund launched today

[E_B]

I think when you apply and get the go ahead it's all or nothing

Think that's changed now, certainly worth a look to be sure.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting, that's because it's taken us longer than we expected to work through all the consultation responses and agree the design of the scheme, and we wanted to make sure we got it right.

We'll be publishing that information very shortly and I'll post it here when we do.

Do you have any timescales on this?

 

[delilah]

So long as the abattoirs continue to close, rather than re-open, it's just words. So long as the supply chain continues to get longer and more concentrated, rather than shorter and more diverse, then it's just words. Fully appreciate that it's decisions on high that are the problem, you can only do what you can do.

Could you point us to anyone in Defra working specifically on the abattoir issue whom we could lobby ?

Good evening

What is the situation where one item covers more than one grant category? For example, a John Deere harvestlab 3000 covers both these, with additional activation codes for the slurry, and would be an asset to the farming business in both categories. I can’t find anything in the paperwork to say both can’t be claimed for the same item?

Does anyone else have any ideas?

When I got the te pari, auto weigher drafter/clamp/mobile sheep race I could claim it under any one of them three codes. But only one so pick the most expensive one. If I could of claimed under all three I'd of got 40% of its cost

I had a feeling that might be the case

Sorry if this has been asked before, but can you apply for multiple units of the same items? E.g 2 x rotating cow brushes as each cow brush is only sufficient for approx 60 cows?

And yes, before anyone says it, I am filling out my application lastminute.com due to various factors!!!!!!

Thanks

@Janet Hughes Defra

Any idea when we will get te green light or not? Been a fortnight since the application stage closed and I doubt I'm the only one that would like to secure the items they want while there available.

Will be like that when we get the nod, everyone who applied will want to secure there items, especially before any spring price rises!

No confirmation to keep my eyes peeled for confirmation .I had forgotten about it !

At this rate, and given current lead times, it's a good job we've got until the end of September

You're welcome to ask me about that, and I can pass it on.

Thanks. I wasn't asking for anything to be passed on. I was asking whom should we lobby ?
