The Area Monitoring System (AMS) will be used to determine eligibility and ensure compliance with Late Meadow Bonus payments.

Although the Agri-Climate Rural Environment Scheme (ACRES) would be aware of the use of AMS to monitor area-based schemes, the Department of Agriculture advises farmers it will also be used to determine eligibility for late meadow actions.
