I intend to have milking parlour feeding systems included in the suite of investments under the Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme to be introduced as part of the 2014 – 2020 Rural Development Programme. The proposals are currently with the EU Commission for approval. There are no plans to include milk recording systems among the proposed investment items in the TAMS Schemes.
