SAC clarification
ADVERTISEMENT
IFA SAC project chair Tom Turley has got clarification on the position for farmers with Natura land in relation to 2016 BPS applications. If Natura land was claimed in 2008, but has since become ineligible as a result of the management requirement or ecological objective, the land remains eligible if it continues to be farmed.
Hill farming
At a recent hill farming committee meeting, a strong call was made that the new Government must address the severe income crisis affecting hill farmers. The committee has set out key issues, including increased ANC payments, the removal of the €5,000 limit on GLAS and a knowledge transfer programme for hill sheep.
