Calls for key farm schemes including Glas and TAMS to be extended

IFA encourages farmers to make their claims ‘as soon as possible’

The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine said 4,688 farmers have applied under Tranche 18 of TAMS - which closed in August - and 70% of them will shortly get an approval to proceed.

The Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA) has called on the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine to extend key farm schemes including Glas and TAMS.

The calls came during a meeting between both parties this morning.
