GLAS thread

Muckit

There may be some interest in setting this up to help with any GLAS related items.

My questions (although not exclusively glas related) are as follows:

I have LIPP and l am trying to work out in real terms what chemical N l am allowed to put out.

So far l've converted the 40kg/ha limit to kg/acre which works put @ 16.19kg/acre.

Now take say a 50kg bag of CAN. That's 27%N so am l right in saying this works out @ 13.5kg? So really a bag of CAN is all that is allowed/annum?

Or if spreading typical compound like 18-6-12 that 1.5bags/acre can be comfortably spread?

Just to update,
Inspection went fine, he was happy with all the measures, bit of hedge needs remedial work. I'm to get a letter requesting receipts, worksheets meal etc for 2018 but hopefully I'll get away with a "RAN" letter an 30 days to fix the hedge and nothing else

I’ve arrived at a situation where I think being in Glas is costing me money. This is my third year, can I leave without being penalised?

I rang the DAFM again this morning re Glas 1 non payment and was told that I have been approved for payment and should receive same within 5 working days. SurprisinglyI got speaking to a member of staff without much of a wait.

Nothing but I had an inspection

Had an inspection as well in May. All went fine and got a letter back to say there were no non-compliance issues. Hoping it gets in this month.

Paid in account today and have an inspection tomorrow...
No doubt I'll be in for some cuts, in fairness bar a half of a new hedge I planted that didn't take too well everything else was done to the letter of the plan.
fingers crossed for me

Text, I presume it's a Glas payment.

5k is the max for glas+ which is commonage farmers

Actually €5000 is the max GLAS payment, GLAS+ qualifies for an additional €2000 if you have more than one of the 5 PEA's (priority environmental asset) - commonage, farmland birds, rare breeds, high status water site and farmland habitat (Natura).

Commonage doesn't get you GLAS+. Nor do you get GLAS+ if you had GLAS+ qualifying birds on that same commonage.

You would need something like 10 ponies (at €200 each) which would have had to be registered with the society for the previous 2 years, or other privately owned NATURA lands to get into GLAS+ territory.

Commonage qualified an applicant as a tier 1 applicant, like the 140kg nitrogen did.

Nothing here either, everything's been done and dusted but no sign of it.
Like someone else said why don't they just send everyone's out together. Everyone who's compliant anyway.

The next payment run will be done later this week, so payment should hit your bank account on Thurs/Fri.

In fairness it doesn't sound like you killed yourself for the 5k. Highlights really many of the schemes failings:(. We badly need "results based" measures instead of nonsense like hanging ornaments from trees etc.:rolleyes:

My advisor called to farm when we signed up. I showed him the field for the bird boxes with loads of trees. When I get the plan he had bird boxes in another parcel with very few trees, just enough trees to be honest. If that was not bad enough, 2 trees in this parcel fell during Ophelia, so I put the boxes in an adjacent parcel in next field. Better to have them up than not.

Audit done on GLAS scheme for corncrake. 10% of farmers had corncrake. Maximum was one corncrake present on any of farms.Audit showed poor early cover habitat for corncrake in all farms, including farms that held corncrake.

Compare that to one farm in NPWS that held 6 corncrake this year,

I was onto the DAFM today re non payment of Glas 1 advance payment and was told that the next payment run will be processed late next week. They hope to have all the advanced payments done before end of Nov. I was assured that all my glas requirements were compete but for some unexpained random reason I wasn't part of the first batch of payments.

If we’ve all the requirements met and no changes from last year, then why cannt they pay everyone the same day ? They can well do it for the single farm payment , which pays a lot more farmers then the glas scheme. I’m in glas one as well, but no sign of my money either.
