Third Tranche Of Farm Modernisation Programme Launches
Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Michelle O’Neill MLA has today announced the re-opening of the Farm Modernisation Programme (FMP).
Making her announcement as she visited the dairy farm of Colm Quinn near Ballygawley, Co Tyrone who received funding under FMP, the Minister said: "Since 2010 over 2,900 farm businesses have benefitted from this programme. Tranche 3 will provide a further £5.5million of financial support to farm businesses to modernise and improve their production techniques. This has proved to be a very popular programme in the past and I know this tranche has been much anticipated. The application period is open from today until at 4.00pm on 19 October 2012."
The Minister added: "FMP is all about modernising farms and by doing so improving their competitiveness, efficiency and sustainability. Another key objective of this round of funding is to support the younger farmers who are the future of our industry. I am very pleased to see that Colm has used the support to invest in technology that improves his herd performance and efficiency."
