Homeland Letterkenny to host a TAMS III Information Day

Homeland Letterkenny are holding a TAMS III Information Day (Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme) on Thursday, August 22 from 12pm to 8pm.

The Homeland team are looking forward to informing farmers of eligible items available under the scheme and the improvements that can be made to their holding.

Calf rearing equipment such as automatic calf feeders are also eligible under the scheme with 40% grant aid available.

Sheep fencing and gateways are included also with fencing posts, sheep netting and barb all coming under the scheme. 

Mobile sheep equipment falls under the farm safety list of eligible items. This includes mobile sheep handling units with penning up to 75 meters, lamb weighing scales and sheep turnover crates. Fixed sheep handling units are also eligible under the scheme.

Mobile cattle crush units, cattle head scoops, leg hoists, cattle weighing scales and calf dehorning crates will also be available to view.

Dominick Gallagher, Branch Manager at Homeland Letterkenny commented ‘TAMS is a hugely beneficial scheme for farmers which and is available to allow them to remain productive and modern and most importantly to keep a high standard of health and safety on their farms. I invite everyone to come along on the 22nd to view many of the eligible items available under TAMS and meet and greet with some of our suppliers.’ View our online Tams III Grant applicable brochure online at www.homeland.ie
