What the Fodder Transport Measure Support Scheme
The objective of this measure is to provide targeted support by way of a transport support contribution to farmers having to purchase fodder over longer distances in light of the prolonged and unfavourable weather conditions on farm.

This measure is operated by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, through the Co-operative organisation.
