Under the original terms of the Knowledge Transfer (KT) programme, farmers were required to provide net margin financial data as part of their profit monitor.
The IFA announced this week that the Department of Agriculture has confirmed that this controversial requirement will no longer be necessary and data on gross output, variable costs and gross margin will suffice.
Speaking to the Irish Farmers Journal, a KT group facilitator said he welcomed the fact that farmers no longer had to provide this information.
