    Hi All,
    I would be grateful for some assistance, my father is an elderly man and not very proactive at signing up to current farming schemes, subsidies, grants etc. I would be grateful if someone could provide a list of programmes, schemes, grants he may be entitled to apply for.

    He currently operates:
    • A heard of 30 sucklers
    • We do keep and kill the majority

    We do all our own farm work (except silage making). Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I help out as much as I can and do not take a wage from the farm.

    Beep-s is the current one that is open that he should apply for before 15th May

    Up to 90 quid per cow/calf pair.

    So worth upto 2700 to him if he means all requirements.

    Hi Gardenman, I'd suggest you contact your local agricultural consultant (all working from home afaik) , they are best suited to advising you. A list can be found on the ACA website (these are private - not Teagsc).
