A second window for the Sustainable Production Grant (Wales) is currently open with the application window closing on the 12th of April.

The grant scheme offers 40% funding for covered slurry storage and management equipment.  The grant value is £12,000 – £50,000.  Anyone who wishes to apply must have attended a Sustainable Farming Roadshow, arranged by Farming Connect.

The SPG will provide support where the investment exceeds compliance with slurry storage regulations, achieving a minimum storage capacity of 160 days regardless of any existing on-farm storage.
In addition to provision of storage, the grant application also supports roofing dirty yards and tanks and spreading equipment.  A full list of eligible items can be found at:
