A total of 19,500 applicants had completed the carbon navigator under the BDGP at the end of last week, a spokesperson from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine told the Irish Farmers Journal on Friday.
This means that approximately 4,500 farmers have yet to complete the navigator application before the deadline of 31 October.
The spokesperson said that all farmers participating in the scheme have been reminded on several occasions of the requirement to complete their carbon navigator.

This was done by both letter and text message for farmers that have signed up to text alerts from the department. “The Department will continue to work with these farmers as we approach the completion deadline,” the spokesperson added.
Information such as livestock numbers, average age at first calving and slurry and fertiliser spreading details are required as part of the carbon navigator. A range of penalties also apply for late or failure to complete a submission.
Further information and a list of approved advisers is available on the Department of Agriculture’s website.
