Funding to help farmers in Northern Ireland buy new equipment and machinery will increase from £7.5m to £15m, the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (Daera) has announced.
The third tranche of Tier 1 of the Farm Business Improvement Scheme (FBIS) opened on 2 November after more than a two-year gap since it was last available, and almost 4,000 farm businesses have already applied.
Edwin Poots, minister for agriculture, environment and rural affairs, said the scheme’s budget was being doubled to help address the problem of the air pollutant ammonia.
