Minister clarifies eligibility of suckler farmers for new beef scheme
The focus of the scheme will be on practical measures to enhance animal health and husbandry on suckler farms.
Agriculture Minister Charlie McConalogue has said that all farmers with eligible suckler cows that produced an eligible calf during the relevant period are able to apply for this year’s new beef scheme.
The €20m Beef Welfare Scheme will open for applications in August as announced by the minister earlier this week.
