Farmers urge extension to complete environmental work for EU scheme
Farmers participating in the scheme have until December 31 to complete the works, which are required to meet new European Union environmental regulations, but they claim they need an extension due to wet weather and other issues which have caused delays.
The Irish Farmers Association (IFA), the Irish Farm Building Contractors Association and the Irish Concrete Federation warned yesterday that it will not be possible to complete all the work by the deadline.
