The Teagasc Roscommon/Longford Advisory service are continuing with their very popular webinar series on the 22nd February at 8pm, this time focusing on farm schemes. Charlie Devaney, Advisor Teagasc Castlerea and Conor Dobson, Teagasc Longford, will be covering the topics of Farm Schemes update and TAMS 2- requirements for the 16th April deadline, respectively. On the webinar each advisor will give a presentation and participants who view the webinar can put question to each panellist.
Farm Schemes Update
BEAM, BEEP-S & BDGP are schemes that are on the mind of most beef farmers currently. The European Commission has recently allowed Ireland flexibility to set a new reduction period under the Beef Emergency Aid Measure (BEAM) scheme and details of this will be outlined in the webinar. The continuation of BEEP-S into 2021was announced in the budget last October and requirements of this scheme will be presented. And lastly, this year farmers in the BDGP were given a one year extension. Charlie Devaney will give a re-cap of what is required of farmers in this program in 2021.
TAMS 2
It was recently announced by the Minister of Agriculture, Charlie McConalogue T.D. that the current tranche of the Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme (TAMS) will close on 16th April 2021. The scheme provides grants for on-farm capital investment for items such as farm buildings, sheep fencing, meal bins, cattle/sheep crushes, weighing scales and much more. Conor Dobson will outline farmer eligibility for TAMS, the application process and rate of payments for farmers.
The online Zoom webinar will last for one hour. You can register here http://bit.ly/RNLDwebinarSchemes or follow the hashtag #RNLDwebinars on social media. Remember if viewing on your smartphone download the Zoom app.
