Farmers told to submit Single Farm Payment forms by today’s deadline
Gabriel Gilmartin, the association’s president, said: “It is vital to submit this form on time as any delay will cost you money in the form of deductions. The Single Farm Payment is the most important application that farmers will have to make this year. In many cases, the payment is absolutely crucial to the overall viability of a farm.”
Applications arriving tomorrow will face a 1% deduction, increasing by 1% per working day until the cut-off date of Jun 10, when the penalty rises to 100%.
