Tough ACRES penalties for missing scoring deadline
Department of Agriculture officials outlined significant penalties, including removal from the scheme, should farmers not have their lands scored within a month of the deadline passing
Advisors have been warned of severe penalties should deadlines for the scoring of farmers’ lands for ecological quality not be met.
Farmers in the Co-operation measure must have their land scored over the summer months by advisors, as the scores achieved will be used to calculate the payments made. Scorecards must be submitted by the end of August.
