5,636 farmers miss out on SCEP scheme

This year, between March 20 and mid-June, there were 20,837 applications to join SCEP.

Nearly 21,000 applied to join the Suckler Carbon Efficiency Programme a few months ago, but only 15,364 farmers have stayed in the scheme.

That's how many received SCEP payments totalling €46m, which started to issue a few days before Christmas.
