Wales Farm Business Grants....

[neilo]

Wehey !! Best get looking at that list again

I did ask about anyone that had less than £3k left to take up. Emails were dispatched to head office and a reply was received in minutes, much to my surprise. You would still have to spend the minimum of £7500, reclaim the £3k (40%) then repay the difference between the £3k and whatever your unclaimed grant was up to the £12k. I'll pass then thanks.

You mean your applying twice?

@neilo - are no till drills not allowed in this round?

You can apply up to the 12k on lots smaller ones cultivators max amount the grass seed one about 10.5 k ?

Sorry, I haven’t looked since applying so it may have changed.
Then, you could claim on a drill that was ‘capable of slot seeding grass and clover’, which is a nice vague description (as most of the eligibility specs are) and which would encompass most no till drills.

The notes I downloaded last week allows for:
"Direct, slot or air seeder capable of sowing grass and clover seeds. Minimum of 2.7m working width (tine and broadcast machines not eligible under this item)

The last part pisses me off as it excludes exactly something I've wanted for ages.

 

[Pistonbroke]

Is that an office worker's description of a grass Harrow with seeder,or a Guttler type.Might be worth an email to them to check before you give up hope

Went to a rural hub meeting today.
Looks like those of us over the border and not already in a Leader group, ie us, are soon to get a crack at these sort of grants.
40% up to £30k, so £12k grant . Min £7500 .
On things like livestock handling , no till drills etc.
