Some 11,000 farmers in the Green Low-carbon Agri-environment Scheme (GLAS) scheme are awaiting their 15% balancing payment for 2016.
The main reason that these farmers have not been paid is because their nutrient management plans (NMPs) have not been submitted, the Department of Agriculture has informed the IFA.
Farmers who have not yet submitted their NMP are urged to contact their planners to ensure the plan is submitted without delay.
Failure to submit the plan will not only hold up the final 15% 2016 payment, but will delay 2017 payments, according to the Department.
GLAS payments for 2017 are worth €220m and are due to 50,000 farmers.
