Budget 2025: Payment boost for sheep and suckler farmers/Government to clamp down on land investors
Briefly

The Government's Budget is set to boost the agriculture sector significantly, with new incentives encouraging farmers, especially with the increase of the Beef Welfare Scheme to €75 per calf.
This increase reflects the government's strategy to secure support from the farming community ahead of the expected general election, signalling a proactive approach to agricultural funding.
In addition to the beef scheme, overall sheep payment is also set to rise to €25 per ewe, emphasizing the government's commitment to bolster livestock farming.
With funding surpassing €2bn for the first time, this Budget showcases a critical effort by Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil to address agricultural needs and enhance farmer welfare.
