Are you a farmer in the red meat sector? If so, make sure you make the most of these opportunities available to you.
Farming Connect are offering the opportunity for businesses in the red meat sector to receive support and guidance through fully funded, bespoke one-to-one surgeries and clinics.
Part of the support offered is available to all red meat producers. This includes ‘Cutting your overhead costs’ on-farm clinics which includes specialist advice on energy, power and machinery and other overheads where possible savings are achievable.
This could really help you and your business to achieve your goals. Therefore, if you’re a farmer within the red meat sector, go for it.
Two other categories of support are available to businesses who have participated in the Hybu Cig Cymru / Farming Connect Red Meat Benchmarking programme only. The first category of support available is 1 hour one-to-one surgeries with a consultant to discuss your individual benchmarking report, and the second is a 2 hour on-farm clinic with a business advisor to discuss how you could increase outputs and improve efficiency.
The window for applying for this support is open between 01/11/2019 and 31/01/2020. All clinics and surgeries will be offered on a first come, first serve basis.
Farming Connect, which is delivered by Menter a Busnes and Lantra, is funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and Welsh Government.
