No Single Payment forms, says retired group
Group chairman Seán Guerin requested Agriculture Minister Mary Coughlan to extend the Single Payment application period beyond next Monday’s official closing date, so that retired farmers can apply, in conjunction with lessees to whom they have let their lands, or on their own without declaring land (a retired farmer can retain entitlements to 2007, but they must then be activated with land, said Mr Guerin).
He said farmers can get more information from his own group at 068 36153 and 086 2202375 or Department of Agriculture helplines.
