ANC farmers will see an increase in their payments when they start landing in bank accounts from 17 September. The additional funding of €25m for Areas of Natural Constraint (ANC) announced in last year’s budget will apply to this year’s payments. The Department of Agriculture confirmed to the IFA that the new rates would apply from this year. The extra funding brings total ANC funding to €228m.
Payment rates
The 32,000 farmers benefiting from payments for mountain grazing will receive an extra €13m. This means the first 10ha will receive €135/ha, while the next 24ha will receive €112/ha. The maximum payment will increase to €4,038.

Those receiving payments from more severely handicapped areas have an extra €9m of funding. Those farmers will receive €104/ha on the first 30ha. This will affect 59,000 farmers and their maximum payment will also increase to €3,120.
Less severely handicapped payments for 23,500 farmers will also go up by an extra €3m. This will increase the payment to €88.25/ha on the first 30ha with a maximum payment of €2,647.50.
