The Targeted Agriculture Modernisation Scheme (TAMS 3) provides grants to farmers to build and/or improve a specified range of farm buildings and equipment on their holdings. The scheme has proved very popular, with an unprecedented level of applications received (almost four times the average number received per tranche under TAMS 2).

Applications received across all of the measures in Tranche 1 are currently being processed.

An application for grant aid was submitted by the person named under the Farm Safety Capital investment Scheme on 7 June 2023. The application has passed all administrative checks and will now proceed to further detailed evaluation. My Department will be in contact with the person named if necessary during this process, with approvals issuing to successful applications once that exercise is complete.
