What are the dates for the farm payments this year? I take it they be on time this year starting in September unlike the mess last year where they were delayed for a long time.
The way these payments were originally calculated comes from stocking rates from years ago, my own entitlements have gone down a bit since the parity craic started. I do think this is a much fairer system though.
Can you explain how its "unfair" that supports are now going to be directed towards more unproductive areas?
Surely the fact that, as you have pointed out, the areas are less productive they could do with the supports more than a productive area?
Is it just greed that has you so bitter over it or can you not make a profit from your farm of productive land without a massive subsidy?
ECO in the account this morning. Just balancing payments left for me now, which are usually in December I think? But given the election is supposedly end of November, we might get them a little earlier this year..
Sorry how do you know anything about me or where I've worked or what form of agriculture I've been involved in. We have had every enterprise known to man including a veg tunnel for sale on my own farm and I would be in the unique position of having worked on a couple of mountain farms.(apart from mushrooms )For the record this is the biggest **** up to date of the cap payments (milstone on farmers necks) all they are doing is giving much less to strangle all sectors of agriculture. so keep waddling on there good ladeen
No bother with a no payments regime here provided im paid properly for my product.
I'm not in the best paying farming sector on superb land and then bitching about other lads payments whilst drawing my own though.
You're well entitled to your opinion, but you're not entitled to denigrate a different sector of farming you know nothing about nor ever worked a day in.
Jog on now.
Let he without sin cast the first stone also the mods need to reign in your back seat modding. Just because I have a particular outlook on the benifits of direct payments doesn't mean I'm right or wrong it just means that you don't agree with me...... payments from Europe are the main thing keeping farmers down and controlled by regulations....... what exactly could they do to anyone if nobody was receiving income support from the EU
Cop yourself on. If the mod won't tell you, then I will - You're well out of order with this post and previous.
Help got no anc or biss payment. Department Looking for proof of actively farming land. It's just rough grazing ground for sheep did fencing cut few trees didn't cut any crops as buy hay for feeding. Have flock register up to date sold /bought sheep.
WWhat businesses are in trouble?. I would think most people with high payments used them to consolidate and expand their business.
No the Biss is being rebanced between higher and lower payments. The Eco is reduced by extra land being declared. It's amazing the amount of advisors that do not know the rules of the scheme
Is the BISS scheme not reducing year on year? As ECO is part of that, I'm guessing it will reduce (albeit slightly) too
Yfs comes early December with balancing payments. Eco is a separate payment showing for me in amounts due now
IS the echo payed separate to the main one? Yfs separate also?
A significant number off farmers left excluded land last year that should have been included, woods, ponds less than 0.2HA, area of scrub. As more land is included the rate will go down
eco is coming in at 66.5 per hectare here, is that what ye all getting?
why are we all down the few euro. Was it flagged or do we get it back in spring. it should be going the opposite direction
I’m down €21 on the eco this year.
And down another 4 euro for the 2nd part of the eco payment in Dec...13 euro altogether.
Same here down 9 euro
Down €10.54.
Mines down 42, I'm the winner so far....
Mines down 31 euro, won't know for sure until the full amount is paid in December.
Mines down 9 euro from last year..
Mines up 7e with no change in anything that I'm aware off
They generally bought extra land and expanded their farm's but many also became very inefficient due to the big lump of money coming every autumn subsidising their business and now they are crying because they are not getting as much free money as they were getting and are now pleading poverty it's like giving a child sweets and then taking them away
We are the same as that on both herd numbers. Small difference only but a difference nonetheless
What amazes me is the wasting of money that must have occurred by the 20% of farmers who received 80% of the CAP money. What did they spend it all on if their businesses are in such trouble now. Foolish to expect public money to flow forever.
My eco payment is less than last year for same land base...
ECO showing up as paid in the BISS section of Agfood for me. Payment approval date of 15/10, so hoping it will be in the account in the next few days.
Eir, the crowd that in 2019 needed a phone line installed to see if I could get broadband even though I had an eircode so they could see exactly where I lived.
Then they install said phone line, I ring up and they say I'll get fantastic broadbandand as there was fibre to the cabinet. Then the engineer arrives out he says there's no point as the cabinet is 3 mile away.
It then took a 3rd phone call with much waiting to cancel the broadband they couldn't provide.
I see how they could try your patience.
