Extra time for BEAM participants

Opportunity to reduce manure nitrogen on farms 

Leeway to end of year for beef farm BEAM commitments. File Picture.  

BEAM participants will shortly be given the opportunity to opt for extra time to reduce production of bovine livestock manure nitrogen on their farms by 5%.

This is the target they must reach to qualify for their share of the €77m paid to 33,000 beef and suckler farmers who availed of the Beef Emergency Aid Measure (BEAM) offered in 2019.
