sheep grassland scheme

foxylock

Howya lads.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to get into the above scheme this year, I know it's supposed to be the final year. I inherited the farm last year and the uncle didn't apply, the payment would be handy to keep the wolf from the door!

Does any one know when this is due to be paid???

It said in the Journal last week that it was due to start in December. It was on the inside back page.

Hello Foxylock,

There was no specific application as such...

From here

Farmers will find participating in the Scheme relatively easy, the three requirements being to:

• Maintain ewes;
• Complete the Sheep Census return; and
• Have submitted the Single Payment Scheme (SPS) application form by the closing date which was the 17th May 2010.

So if your uncle was in receipt of SPF + submitted the sheep census, then you should get it.



It might be worth a call to the dept I'd say.

Thanks for that John, I inherited in oct 2011, so should have received a payment for that year but nothing. I'm gone blue from trying to get through to the dept, have left several messages and still nothing. Will keep trying.
