Four weeks left for BPS application

Farmers need to be aware that the deadline for the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) online application is 15 May 2019. It is an extremely important part of the majority of farmer’s income and if at all possible should not be left to the last minute. Farmers can make the application themselves or through an agent. This is also the deadline for the Areas of Natural Constraint (ANC) scheme, Young Farmers Scheme, transfer of entitlements and National Reserve applications. The Department is assisting farmers via one-to-one clinics country-wide. Details are available on farmersjournal.ie.
