Scottish grant's

[Weasel]

Any scottish grants for young farmers going that any body knows about?

I'd had an email from the Rural payments & services dept recently regarding registering a holding in Scotland and they pointed out, BPS young farmers supplement & the small farms grant scheme https://www.ruralpayments.org/topics/all-schemes/small-farms-grant-scheme/ the latter not being specific for young farmers.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see something shortly. Had the booklet in from the SAC today and it was saying 1st of January 2023 all farms with more than 100 dairy cattle have to use precision application. So no more splash plates.

Just as well we're only milking 99 then!

Here’s the table of what we will have to do.

Looks like a dribble bar in the next year and lagoon for 22 weeks storage in the next 3 years.

Or sell up lol

Here's a list https://www.skillseeder.com/climate-change-fund

It includes our course in microscopy if it ever interests you.

The deadline for applying is the end of this month.

Just had a quick scan over range of courses (didn't notice microscopy) .
Many courses on offer would let farmers diversify with the right "Ticket".
Had thought there would be more on farm scale energy generation and usage, and some on livestock/grazing management.
I'm sure a few will benefit from this, just not so sure about access to many of the courses due to distance. Only noticed one course based in the Highlands so travel and accommodation could be a problem for me. Please correct me if I've missed some.
