Commonage Information Meetings

PROPOSED NEW GLAS AND BASIC PAYMENT SCHEMES

Commonage Information Meetings

The Dept. of Agriculture will hold a series of information meetings for commonage farmers covering the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) and the Green Low-carbon Agri-environment Scheme (GLAS), on the following dates. My understanding is that these meetings will be run on a clinic style with officials engaging with individuals or small groups rather than a formal meeting where the top table addresses a crowd.

Considering the changes coming down the tracks, it is in every commonage farmers interest to learn more about the proposals and what steps the farmers needs to take next. Availing of the opportunity presented by these information meetings is recommended to all.
