Slurry Infrastructure Grant: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This scheme provides financial support to livestock farmers to help upgrade their slurry storage facilities.

👤Who it's for

This grant is specifically designed for livestock farmers who currently rely on lagoons or tanks for waste management. It is intended for those whose existing infrastructure requires upgrading to better manage their farm's slurry output.

🎁What you get

The primary benefit of this scheme is funding to increase your storage capacity. The amount of support is calculated to provide you with an additional six months of slurry storage capacity, helping to ensure you can manage waste safely throughout the year.

💰What it costs you

While the grant provides funding, there are several administrative and logistical steps you must complete. You will be required to develop and submit a nutrient management plan to support your application. Additionally, you are responsible for obtaining all necessary planning permission required for the infrastructure upgrades on your land.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important thing to understand before applying is the burden of proof. You cannot apply simply because you want new equipment; you must be able to demonstrate and prove that your current storage capacity is inadequate for your current operations.

📝How to apply

• Develop a comprehensive nutrient management plan for your farm.
• Apply for and secure the necessary planning permission for your storage upgrades.
• Gather all required evidence to prove that your current slurry storage is inadequate.
• Visit the official government portal to find specific application instructions and current guidance.
