Teagasc Environment specialist, Catherine Keena, joins Catherine Egan on this week’s Beef Edge podcast to give an update on the new Agri-Climate Rural Environment Scheme also known as ACRES.
This new €1.5 billion flagship agri-environment scheme closed last week for applications of which there were 47,000 applications.
There were 27,000 in the general scheme comprising of Tier 1, 2 and 3. The farmers that are successfully accepted into the scheme will receive a letter from the DAFM. Once the letter is received farmers will also receive a detailed copy of their ACRES plan.
While Catherine advises farmers to make preparations now, it’s also important not to carry out any actions before hearing back from the DAFM.
Farmers that were unable to apply in this tranche or are unsuccessful, will have an opportunity to apply again next autumn.
