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?

You can’t leave unless you pay money back. No money received yet for this year despite completing all requirements post inspection almost a month ago. It really is not worth it for me at this point.

hang in there, you might drink it sweet before Christmas yet!

Received money in may and mid November, when is the balance due to be paid does anyone know? In year 3 of glas, and looking on ag food, payment dates are changing every year.

Cancel that. Eventually tracked the problem down to a IT issue in Watford. For some reason the system is not recognising multiple commonage parcels! They dont know why. It's been logged and passed to the IT guys apparently. The lady I was onto in wexford was fairly sound tbf not like the pig of a man in cavan i rang first.

I'm in year 3 at the moment. I got a bill for "professional services with regard to annual glas support for 2018" of €375 which is ~10% of my total yearly payment.
I've had no contact with the planner since October 2017 when I did the GLAS one day course!!!
Last year the equivalent fee was €295.

Before I contacted them I wanted to check if others get such a bill? Is there work that the planner is doing in the background in years 2,3,4 etc that I'm not aware of?

Thanks

Very interested to hear responses to this myself as I'm in Glas 3 and so far have only paid my planner for initially doing up the plan and then for the Nutrient Management plan.
I'm not aware of any other work they need to do year on year but am open to correction here.

Possibly need to update the NMP near the end of the scheme ?
I just fill in the record book for each year myself.

I got a more reasonable bill recently for glas “maintenance fee” €160 . I’m a few years into it as well and aren’t aware of any work they did though. Coincidentally, i’d to do the glas training course this year for which the advisor had to cut us a cheque for doing, for more or less the exact same amount. Have paid them for nutrient plans etc in previous years

Are they still getting money direct from the department too?

Thanks for the reply. Just to get a gauge, what % would €160 roughly be of your total payment?

What way does that work ? How much N, P or K is in a tonne of meal ?

N is protein so crude protein / 6.25 will give you the N content. P and K are ingredient dependent

Think it’s to do with the amount of P

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

Why would they need to see your meal receipts ?

It’s a joke , Dept inspectors trying to destroy small farmers .

Everyone seams to have it in for small farms

With less small farms there would be less Co-ops, less AI technicians, less marts (if any at all), less Consultants & less Dept staff to name but a few.

Glas payment sorted. It's in payment due section of agfood. Check agfood if you haven't been paid in 1st payment run.

I'm not sure on that one tbh but I doubt you can walk away without penalty. A bit like brexit.

What measures are you useing that are costing you all this money if you don't mind me asking Q?

It’s complicated.
Having catch crops is stopping me sowing winter cereals which means I’m stuck sowing spring barley which has been a disaster in recent years.
That’s not only reason. Catch crop probably cost me €800/900 this year to sow so if u take that and the tax I’m paying on money received I’m not making a lot.
