Slurry Infrastructure Grant: what you need to know and how to apply

The Slurry Infrastructure Grant provides funding to improve slurry storage beyond the current legal minimums. Slurry storage is a critical part of every resilient farm business, as it ensures the effective use of nutrients, help to secure farm productivity and profitability, and minimises the risk of pollution.

To help you understand this grant and prepare to apply, this workshop will cover:

• why slurry storage is an important issue for all farm businesses
• what the grant covers, and what is not covered
• how to use the AHDB Slurry Wizard to identify your own farm slurry storage needs
• who can apply including eligibility criertia
• how to complete the application process, and what happens next.

The information available on this grant now is also expected to be valid for a third grant application window, opening in early 2024.
