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?

I dont think you can, I think I remember something in the ts and cs about not allowing leasing land in the the scheme.

I don't think so either.
Have a look at point 7.3 under Eligibility - https://www.agriculture.gov.ie/media/migration/farmingschemesandpayments/glastranche1/GLASTranche1TandCs071015.pdf

Need to check with your agricultural Officer(AO) maybe. That is the Dept of Ag person allocated to you.

You can only do a movement on AIM to a farm or show now.

I spoke with the Agri advisor and yes it’s an issue. Basically with glas I have to have effective control over the land so it’s a no go even for a short term rent with stock etc. bit of a pain but I’ll work something around that!

Anyone else thrown out of GLAS? I'm posted my story before. Had inspection last October, thrown out in May, appealed, still no result? Has anyone else experienced this or similar?

Did he go into much detail with your record books. Did you fill them in yourself.
Only asking as wondering do people write much in theirs

There's been talk of them in Dept I know, not aware of any decision to use or not.

I had everything filled in. Dates for everything like fencing, spreading muck, fertilizer, animals in and out, etc. And then I let my advisor (Teagasc) have a look before I handed them over. He said most people that gave him records had an awful lot of empty pages that needed imagination to fill in correctly.
Then posted the lot to Department with meal receipts and fert information. I haven't heard anything back and the money has arrived, so things must have looked okay. Only thing that came up was that a section of riverside fencing wasn't done properly so I will loose a bit of payment for that. From the figures in my bank account that hasn't happened yet, it's the same as last year.

are the inspections ongoing or are they finished for this year

I,de imagine their still ongoing. If i,m not mistaken it's part of the reason why the full due amount isn't paid till next year.

Will there be another GLAS after this one expires ?

It appears likely that there will be a gap between when GLAS1 contracts end and any future environmental scheme may begin. It was thought it may be possible to "roll over" GLAS1 on a one year contract but this may not be possible due to GLAS being a 5 year term contract (leaving aside the 3 months at the start) - unlike other schemes.

Future environmental schemes may well be more difficult to draw down. The new Eco scheme which is to replace Greening is coming under a lot of pressure to deliver a lot more benefits to the environment than Greening. As a farmer you cannot double draw down, so if there are more difficult measures to comply with for the farmer in an Eco scheme, then a future environmental scheme will have to go above and beyond those measures in the Eco scheme.

Of course none of this is agreed yet, but that appears the direction of travel at this moment.

Thank you for the info

Hello people. I usually get my GLAS payment in December. I've seen nothing yet. Anyone else in the same boat. Is there a delay.

Most people have received their 85% at this stage. Ring Johnstown castle in Wexford which looks after Glas.

Well lads and lassies, anybody else get notification of inspection for the new year?

I was just finished checking my now 4 monthly herd test, (and passed) when a cavan number rang to tell me, that I'm being inspected at 10:00 in morning, dept must be going to be my new best friend lol.

I personally have few tree bits not planted but hopeing for a warning, without claw back.

So Anyone that was inspected, were there lenient or strict at their inspecting?

Thankfully i wasn't inspected since being in aeos.
he pointed out a few things back then, but didn't call back on anything. It was in my opinion anyway a handier scheme so less to fault.
maybe i,m wrong but i think there not as harsh on minor issues as they may have been in the past?? at least that's what i hope.
best of luck with it anyway.
