With one week to go and over 14,000 applications in, farmers are being urged to make applications to the third tranche of the Green Low-carbon Agri-environmental Scheme (GLAS).
A total of 14,500 farmers have had online applications created on the Department of Agriculture’s online system thus far, ahead of the 15 December deadline.
Fears growing
With such interest in the latest round of GLAS, fears are growing that the scheme will be oversubscribed.

A total of 38,000 farmers are currently in GLAS I and II, and the Department has previously said it would allow 50,000 farmers into GLAS altogether. This would leave just 12,000 places for GLAS III.
The Department of Agriculture is encouraging farmers to take up tier two and tier three actions to make sure they have a better chance of getting into GLAS.
“To date, just over 14,500 applications have been created on the GLAS 3 online system. Given the large volume of applications being created, applicants are encouraged to adopt actions that will optimise their marks for the selection process, where practical and appropriate, to increase their chances of accessing the scheme,” a statement from the Department said.
Farmers must make an online application through their approved farm adviser.
