The Department of Agriculture is encouraging farmers to submit their nutrient management plans (NMPs) in order to receive their balancing payment.

The 2016 balancing payment to GLAS 1 and GLAS 2 participants can only be made when the NMP has been submitted.

To date, almost 20,000 plans have been submitted to the Department.

The balancing payment represents the final 15% of the 2016 payment and completes the total payment for GLAS actions undertaken last year under GLAS 1 and 2.
