Figures released by the Department of Agriculture show that 3,000 to 4,000 farmers remain ineligible for the 2017 85% advance GLAS payments.
Some of the issues holding up payments to farmers include the 660 nutrient management plans that are yet to be submitted and the 880 commonage management plans outstanding.
Advisers believe one of the key reasons why GLAS farmers are deemed ineligible for advance payments is that there are BPS amendments required to maps. This, they say, is a lack of communication between the GLAS and BPS sections of the Department.
