Six-year suckler scheme launched

Farmers applying for the new Beef Data and Genomics Programme (BDGP) must comply with a series of requirements, to which they will agree as part of the scheme’s six-year contract.

Farmers who participated in last year’s Beef Genomics Scheme and Beef Data Programme will be familiar with many of the requirements.

As part of the BDGP, participants must also attend a specific training course, with all training to be completed before November 2016.
