Online course for anyone planning to build a free-stall barn
The deadline for converting from tie-stall barns to free-stall barns is 2034. This affects many small and medium-sized farms in Norway.
To make this process easier, we have introduced the 'Resource assessment grant' scheme. Farmers can apply for funding for a feasibility study and a systematic review of their own situation to help secure the best possible financial basis for their operations.
To support you through this process, we have developed a series of courses covering everything you need to know about the loose housing requirement, our services and the application process.
Who is the course for?
The course consists of three modules. We recommend completing all three to prepare as effectively as possible for converting to loose housing. The course is relevant if you still have a tie-stall barn and need guidance on how to begin the conversion process.
Getting off to the right start is key. It can save you both time and money. We are here to help, and as a first step, we recommend completing this course series.
What will you gain from the course?
- Increased profitability for your barn and operations
- A solid foundation for a sustainable project
- Tips and practical advice on making more efficient use of existing resources
- An answer to the question: Where should you start?
