The TAMS scheme provides support for a large number of investments for farmers in different sectors including tillage, pigs, poultry, beef and dairy. This latter category of dairy farmers are the largest beneficiaries as a group under the schemes and there is an onus on the Department to ensure that the available funds are disbursed proportionately. Cattle underpasses can be expensive, relative to other capital investments under the scheme, and any request for new investments can only be considered in light of the overall scheme budget.
