Farmers urged to submit Single Payment applications before May 15

Teagasc is urging farmers to submit their Single Payment Scheme forms to the Department of Agriculture before the May 15 deadline.

Teagasc has reminded farmers that its advisers are available to help complete the application form.

Head of Teagasc advisory service, Dermot McCarthy, said that applications involving leased land are taking longer to complete as these farmers face greater changes under the new CAP rules.
