Tillage boost: Protein Aid Scheme set to continue
Tillage boost: Protein Aid Scheme set to continue
2018-02-07 From: Agriland
Speaking at the Teagasc National Tillage Conference, he said: “I wish to confirm that the scheme will continue in some form in 2018. “I can’t give you the details; but it will be finalised in the next couple of weeks and will be included in the Basic Payment Scheme documentation that will be issued shortly.” The scheme was introduced as a coupled support as part of the implementation of the reformed Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) package in Ireland. Since its introduction in 2015, the scheme has been an important support for farmers growing beans, peas and lupins. These crops provide important environmental benefits, along with an indigenous source of protein for animal feed. Last year, the payment rate under the scheme was set at €215/ha and almost 1,200 farmers applied. TAMS Update “Specific areas of investment include: minimal disturbance tillage equipment; sprayers; rain water harvesting; grain storage; and grain driers.” Under the tillage-specific scheme, he said, 638 farmers have been approved. 97 applicants have submitted payment claims, which total just under €1 million. This figure excludes young tillage farmers, who can apply for a higher rate of funding under the scheme.
