Farmers and crofters have until 15 May to submit their Single Application Forms (SAF) to the Agricultural Department. On Tuesday of this week, 5,673 SAFs were submitted to the Government. Last year, by 1 May 2018 there had been 5,760 SAFs submitted.

“This year’s Single Application Form window is until midnight on 15 May” said Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing.

“As with last year, I would encourage everyone who wishes to do so to submit their applications online as soon as possible – because only then will they benefit from pre-submission validation checks on their application.”
