As details of the Beef Finishers Payment (BFP) become more clear, the next stage in the process will allow for eligible farmers to register with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine when the scheme opens for submission on August 19.
The Department is anticipating that 42,000 farmers will be eligible to apply for the scheme, which will be based on the number of cattle sent for slaughter in the period from February 1 to June 12, 2020 - subject to a limit of 100 animals per herd.
