Today, Monday 16 May 2022, is the deadline for farmers to submit their 2022 Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) applications. All applications must be submitted by midnight.
Monday also marks the deadline for application to numerous farm schemes such as the Tillage Incentive Measure, with BPS applications also required under practically every agricultural or environmental scheme.
The Department of Agriculture is reminding applicants to tick the Areas of Natural Constraint box on the opening page of the application to apply for the 2022 BPS. If you have forgotten to tick this box, it can be done via the BPS amendment option.
