Wales Farm Business Grants....

Anyone heard how many applied in the second window? Roughly 510 in the first and there was cash left to add to the second

I'll be interested to hear too, but I don't suppose they can say much until they've processed most of them.

From people I've spoken to, there doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm for it. Finding the other 60% is the biggest stumbling block I think.

I think that’s just a guide/hope, rather than a definite deadline.

I’ve put a claim in this time (but not heard back yet). I don’t think you can go shopping until you’ve got the approval email, or at least the invoice date must be after that....

A neighbour of ours applied in the first window too. He wasn't expecting to get it approved so ticked a lot of boxes as if it had been a child going through a toy catalogue at christmas. Reality has now struck with the list having been accepted and he's struggling not only to fund the spending but also with sourcing some of the equipment within the allowed time frame.

I don't think Mrs NeilO will appreciate me wrapping up an electric fencer for her though, and I can't afford enough paper to wrap the drill.
