The closing date for Beef Exceptional Aid Measure (BEAM) Deferral is on Monday, June 21 next.
The current reduction period is from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, however, as a result of Covid-19 and the impact it could have on some farmers meeting their 5% bovine Nitrates reduction requirement, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine wrote to the European Commission in January 2021 seeking an extension of the reduction period.
