13,800 applicants to suckler scheme as wait continues for BEEP-S replacement
The new €260m suckler scheme targets bovine emissions through enhanced use of genetics, genomics, and performance metrics.
A total of 13,800 applications have been made to the Suckler Carbon Efficiency Programme as the closing date approaches.
Irish Farmers' Association livestock chairman Brendan Golden has said that while the targets in the scheme are "challenging, there is a good level of flexibility each year to ensure they can be met".
