Defra has announced a further £74 million to help farmers invest in improved slurry infrastructure to tackle water pollution and improve air quality.
Applications are open for the second round of the slurry infrastructure grant which forms part of a total £200m being invested in slurry infrastructure and equipment. The second round has more than double the funding on offer than the first round of the scheme to help meet increased demand.
Farmers can apply for grants of £25,000 to £250,000 to replace, expand, build extra and cover slurry stores, and fund equipment such as separators, reception pits and agitators.
