Any of the approximately 4,000 participants in the Organic Farming Scheme (OFS) can apply for support for mounted and self driven mulchers at a grant rate of 60% when the Organic Capital Investment Scheme opens. Applicants must indicate whether they are applying for a mounted or self driven mulcher. Organic farmers who are not participants in the OFS are eligible for grant aid of 40%.
