If they answer NO (N), a new check box is displayed providing prospective applicants with the option to commit to becoming a member of Bord Bia Sustainable Beef and Lamb Assurance Scheme prior to 01-Dec-2019. Farmers must answer these before they are allowed to submit their application. In light of what has transpired over the past few days how do ye now feel about Bord Bia's involvement in this scheme?
