Four-week extension of deadline for submission of ACRES Scorecards
Result-based payments link the nature quality of the habitats on a farm to the environmental payment. Each field is scored out of 10 using a scorecard that captures the environmental quality of the habitat, which reflects past and current management.
A four-week extension to the closing date for submission of completed scorecards for results-based actions under the ACRES scheme was confirmed on Friday.
Minister for Agriculture, Charlie McConalogue had previously ruled out such an extension, but said the new closing date will be Friday 29th September 2023 which will give advisors an additional four weeks to complete the submissions.
