Do you have a ruf idea of what the green bits are?Looks like going by the ifj were going down 20% if we dont get greener.
Probably be the end of the enviromental schemes payout and you only will get full single farm if you do all the green bits
That's BS !!!There going to remove the p from the bps scheme
Anybody know the new rules which we have to do to qualify for our bps now?
30% of what? I haven’t read the journal in a few weeksSee the EU parliament voted this through on Friday night but its 30% as opposed to 20%
The teagasc guy in our discussion group was saying there is a scheme coming maybe next year where there will be funding towards getting soil tests done and training on how to get the best from the results.Surely the big one is going to be derogation and reducing stocking numbers to remain within the Nitrates limits. There's also talk of reducing the limit to below 170kg. The greens have mooted the idea in recent times that every farmer should plant a small amount of native trees any maybe some us us will get away with maintaining hedgerows (We have acres of trees if you add up all the hedgerows).
Rewetting is only for farmed peatland as far as I am aware. It may impact us personally as we have small patches of bogland through the farm that we farm but I suspect that when they talk about rewetting, they are going to focus on large areas of bogland such as bord na mona peat extraction sites and the farmland surrounding them as well as floodplains and callows as opposed to 10 to 15 acre sites in drumlin areas.
Beyond that we will see the usual suspects like fertilizer reduction and spray reduction. More lime spreading and low emission slurry spreading will be on the cards too.
30% of cap payments to be for environmental measures. Someone up top of this thread had said 20%30% of what? I haven’t read the journal in a few weeks
I always do my own sfp. I still use teagasc for discussion group. Have a good advisor there and he is always available for advice. I want to stay on their books for the next reps to ensure that I will have a planner. €190 is what I paid them last year.I didn't use tesgasc this year at all. They were all cocooning so done sfp online myself.
They are looking for 350 for next year again. I think I'll let them whistle

I'm tempted to leave them too, had to be in for Glas and will probably have to be with them for whatever new schemes come along, other than that soil testing looks like being more a feature going forward.I didn't use tesgasc this year at all. They were all cocooning so done sfp online myself.

Done the hole farm last yr. Best money spent. Saved on spreading 0s this year as certain fields were good.It's a poor reflection on the Irish farming community IMO when we need to be incentivised to take regular soil samples.
I couldn’t agree more. We have to do it every 4 years as it is under the Nitrates Directive. maybe that’s just in tillage or else assume Index 3.It's a poor reflection on the Irish farming community IMO when we need to be incentivised to take regular soil samples.
I think the Nitrates Directive was changed to every 4 years?Every 5 years we do the whole farm, for the sake of €15 per sample the price of a ton of fert would go a long way. Think the Dept paid for all sampling when testing was scarce back in the 70s, some fields had never seen lime before.
