2,729 farmers waiting for GLAS payments. \ Ramona Farrelly

Almost 2,300 GLAS farmers waiting for 2016 payments have received letters from the Department of Agriculture telling them they have not passed all of the required checks and validations.
The 2,300 farmers include cases where the BPS land parcel data to support their application has not been verified, farmers who have not sent in or signed low-emissions slurry (LESS) forms and interim Commonage Management forms and applications with open BPS errors. Other farmers have not passed validation checks.
According to Department officials, the main validation check failures are as follows:
ADVERTISEMENT
The minimum area required for a GLAS action not being declared on a parcel.
Incompatible crop code being declared on a parcel for the GLAS action associated with that parcel.
A parcel on which a GLAS action was approved no longer being claimed on BPS by the applicant.
The grazing enterprise check and bovine check associated with certain GLAS actions not being passed.
Officials are and will be contacting farmers directly by phone or email to update their declaration or confirm the GLAS action in question can be rejected. GLAS payments of €852,387 were issued to 241 farmers last Friday, leaving 2,729 farmers awaiting money.
