Proposed changes to Eco Scheme a 'meaningless measure'
Hedgerows, which have been previously included in the Eco-Scheme, have been removed with the proposed changes.
Farming organisations have pushed back against the proposed Eco Scheme amendments, some calling it a “meaningless measure”, and others calling for a reversal.
Commenting on the proposed changes to the scheme, the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association (ICMSA) questioned how these changes work with the "simplification agenda".
