My â‚¬100m BEAM scheme

epfff

Thought it deserved a thread of its own as it was taking over me beef price.

My reading so far is that the farm must reduce its nitrates per farm as opposed to reducing the nitrates per ha am i reading this correct?

Would be handy if there was a planning tool linked to stock on aim, with options of putting in predicted sale dates, purchases and births to track progress

The reference period for reduction is July 01 2018 to June 30 2019.
From July 01 2020 to June 30 2021 you have to have 5% less stock or kgs or whatever it is so it would be better to have those cull cows gone before July this year.

For the Beam scheme am I correct in thinking that if one had a few culls to go later in year it would be best to have them gone prior to 01/july 2020. So the reduced numbers (reduced kg) has to commence for this date and up until this date you can work away.

No, wait until after the 1st of July 2020. The period for reduction is from 1/7/2020 to the 30/6/2021.
I edited my post after reading Tanko's below as it could cause confusion.

The reduced numbers doesn’t have to start on July 1st 2020. It’s calculated over the following 12 months but the simplest way do do it would be to reduce numbers from the start which is what i will do.

Could well happen here, but that's fine. Interest free loan at a time when money is tight.

Thats it exactly, theres no penalty for not meeting the terms, its a free shot, its unlikely I'll make the limit but you never know

Creed announced BEAM payments have commenced, mine has changed on agfood to ‘claim complete’

Base price

I've been keeping an eye on the status of our application and I noticed yesterday that it said "pass". Today it says "complete".

Hopefully payment will issue shortly. If you wish to check the status of your application log onto Agfood and click on Exceptional Aid Measures.
Edit: just read that payments are beginning to be issued.

If you log onto agfood - you can view your BEAM application - there contains all the relevant figures

On agfood.ie your nitrates statements to end of october will be available.

As well if a member of ICBF you can look it up under reports and stock numbers

Sound for that is it hard to register for that? Would you know off hand the figures for under 12 months and under 24 months and under 36 months? I think I may be tight as I was the guts of two months late selling my cattle,also if you bought cattle on the last day of a month what way would that work or sold cattle in the first day of a month?

It is supposed to be in December so I guess any time from now until Christmas.
My BDGP money was paid on Dec 14th last year so there is still potential days to be paid this no month.

Payment runs are only once a week now, well for bps anyway.

I would appeal it again as you have nothing to loose. I assume you have a list of tag numbers that you can show were slaughtered within 30 days of sale through the herd number that bought them off you/through the mart.

9.2 - "Where an animal under 9.1.1 has been presented for slaughter by an agent or by a dealer within 30 days of purchase, including those purchased in the mart, payment may issue to the immediate previous herdowner or in respect of the previous eligible herdnumber, where that herdowner is an applicant"

Would agree with Base price 100%, make sure you appeal this decision. Page 5 of the Terms & Conditions reads 'Where an animal under 9.1.1 has been presented for slaughter by an agent or by a dealer within 30 days of purchase, including those purchased in the mart, payment MAY issue to the immediate previous herdowner or in respect of the previous eligible herdnumber, where that herdowner is an applicant. This paragraph is too open to interpretation for my liking, especially the use of the word 'MAY'

tanko

Yeah, i have all that info, the word "may" is all very vague in the terms and conditions.

Do ye reckon there will be another beam payment this time next year considering the price of beef was lower this year compared to last year?

Does anyone know for sure if animals sold in a mart which are bought by a factory agent or dealer and killed within 30 days of sale are eligible for the €100/head payment to the farmer who sold them in the mart?
