“Every effort is being made to complete this process with a view to paying affected farmers as soon as possible,” Minister for Agriculture Michael Creed said in response to a parliamentary question from Niamh Smyth.
Knowledge Transfer (KT) is one of a suite of measures included under the Rural Development Programme 2014-2020 and involves the formation of knowledge transfer groups across the beef, dairy, equine, sheep, tillage and poultry sectors.
Participants attend group meetings and produce a farm improvement plan in consultation with their KT facilitator. For each year of the three-year programme, participants receive a payment of €750 for a primary sector and €375 for a secondary sector where all requirements of the programme have been met.
