Payments for scheme year two of the Suckler Carbon Efficiency Programme (SCEP) worth €47.8m have commenced.
Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue made the announcement that will affect some 14,943 participating farmers.
This is the second year of SCEP as part of the CAP and builds on the gains delivered in recent years through the Beef Data and Genomics Programme (BDGP) and the Beef Environmental Efficiency Programme (BEEP) by improving the genetic merit of the Irish Suckler herd.
