60% shed grant...

locky76

What's the story with this is Simon's recent announcement? Is it only for under 40's or is it for everyone?

huey1975

I want to know more as well. I built a shed in 2008 and got a grant. I wonder would I be able to build another and get the grant again? I wonder if the old man signed over a quarter acre in his yard could I build it there considering my own land is 5 miles away?

The detail isn't finalised yet. But yes there will be 60% grants for eligible young farmers. A drop of cynanide for the auld lad??

Rumour is it will be for all. But the budget for the total is very small. Relax for a few weeks and it will all become clear.

Spend the money on entitlements..

The only problem with the grant is that the builder will grab as much of it off you as he can.

Silly question..
Would it cover upgrades to existing sheds ??

We could do with replacing slats and this would be a big help..

If it's anything like claiming back vat it will be only new sheds and not repairs or replacements but only time will tell

I think you'll have to build a new shed and get some extra slats !

Was told by somone in the know that the term di mininmis aid might apply to pillar 2 funds. Its basically a ceiling on the amount of grant aid that can drawn down over a period...say 100k over 3 years. Relates to preventing market distortion. She didn't know exact figures and if it will definitely apply

Hmmm didn't hear about this one.

I assume it will be along the previous FYM grant scheme, the dept have their costings and that is what you get paid on.

Built a 4 bay slatted shed in 07. Could build a mirror image across from it. Might be an option. Other thing might be to extend the shed by another 2 bays. If I do go a bit mental in a few years and go back milking I will need extra slurry storage

I'll be interested to know a bit more.

Greengrass1

Said this to the father today and he doesn't like the idea if it. He says the last shed grant that was out lads didn't get the money they were due to get from the grant

mauser77

I wouldn't go gettin my hopes up about this 60% it was there last year a 50% grant but only for dairy or sheep this one cud be the same I no afew lads they have them build in there head already

st1979

I was pleasantly surprised with the grant last time. Dont normally relish department guys coming about and was put off from all the stories you hear. But they were helpful inspectors.
Although I had to go cross the border to get value in non distorted prices for sheds etc. And my builder Is decent and charged fair price. I paid per day worked that was it. And he wanted to get on to a higher profit job so work was done fast. Dept inspector said they were happier when people shopped around and got value. As some suppliers belive the grant was for them not the farmer

Too many sheds built in this country and those modern ones they look crap desperate in fact.

They should only support and grant aid sheds built in the old stone style that are sympathetic to the landscape.

Cattle don't give a toss about fancy sheds.
They are as happy out standing under a bush.

What?

Are you serious?

I assume you live in a stone house, with a welsh slate roof, with a nig open fireplace. And walk everywhere and don't use a car - as I think they look terrible unsightly on rural roads you know....
Impractical maybe, but lovely looking, to see someone out walking in the rain...

begob, you must be talking to the same lad I talk to. Meeting of the top table scheduled for tomorrow.
Safety devices, cattle handling, rain water harvesting etc etc etc, but the replacement of slats might be a overlooked. I asked about resurfacing silage bases, and that is a non runner.

just do it

pillar2 funds to cover period to 2019 so this grant mightn't even come on stream this year.

Dont know about that, its mainly focused at dairy farmers getting slurry storage and housing improved for 2015 so id be surprised if he didnt introduce this year.

When will this grant come into play??

Greengrass1

Said in the IFJ that it was for farm infrastructure. Its to include another parlour grant scheme.
I wonder will it stretch to farm roadways and water systems?

gerryirl

sadly it'll probably end up like the last time the grants were in when the cost of a shed went sky high. You'd probably build one with no grant for cheaper

If there is a rush like last time, I'll be getting the drawing pencils out and start doing the planning permissions again.

case885

Approved for the des grant have until jan 15 to have it finished, just wondering could that be pushed out a year as i would like to get new grant and do it all at once but that may not be available for awhile, would they agree if i was to write to them and explain the situation? cheers

raher1

Does anyone know what exactly is the story with the 60% grant for sheds.

6480

if its like the last grant the price of concrete labour and steel will go through the wall for the grant i am under 40 and would get a good grant but i have to do another shed but i will not even look at applying for it , at least i can go and build a shed to my own needs and not to the dept crap and rules

Scaglietti

It's a long shot but, Does anyone here know the name of the fella that's finds out all the grants your entitled to and he takes 10%?

TAMS II its called. From the department website as what I make out it Start off with dairy, animal handling, low emission slurry spreading technology. Then will be expanded to slurry storage and building.

From reading the draft RDP 2014-2020 the general rate is 40% with a ceiling of 80,000e. The 60% rate is for qualified young farmers. No idea on when the grant for buildings will come in! Seems renovation of existing animal housing won't be covered. As you say trying to keep up with it is a job in itself. It has a budget of 395 million. Specifications and paperwork will probably be a drawback. The low emission slurry spreading technology grant interests me.

agriman27

Hope the low emmison slurry spreading will include slurry tankers and agitators mine are nearly fecked. Them new wobbly splash plates will get some boost in sales:)

What do you mean by qualified farmer? Is that the green cert?

Yeah I think so but you also have to be under 40 years old to get the top up from 40 to 60 per cent I think

Not fair on some farmers.

If your going down that route, better off going back to 2010 and the depth of the recession, where you will get a shed built without a grant for cheaper than the grant days, no red tape, no waiting months for builders etc etc!
