‘Satellite monitoring is intrusive and disquieting’
ICMSA says that farmers are being subjected to excessive monitoring because of new systems required under CAP. File Picture.
“The level of monitoring that will be employed this year for the Protein Aid Scheme and other schemes in future years is grossly intrusive and disquieting”.
These were the sentiments expressed by the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers’ Association (ICMSA) President, Pat McCormack this week after learning of the new CbM monitoring system set to replace the current ‘on-the-spot’ controls that will become compulsory in the new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) by January 1, 2024.
