Last Chance for Welsh Dairy Farmers
Dairy farmers in Wales have until this Friday to apply for an aid scheme worth £1,800.
The EU Conditional Aid Scheme is only open to dairy farmers in Wales and, specifically, those that were in milk production with a supply contract on 1 January 2016.
To qualify before the deadline at midnight on Friday 30 June, producers need to complete an online questionnaire with information about their farm business. In return, farmers will receive the payment by the end of September as well as a report, prepared by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), identifying business strengths and weaknesses and a comparison against industry performance indicators.
The link for the questionnaire as well as more information can be found on the AHDB website.
Farms with land falling outside of Wales can still participate in the scheme if the majority of the land is in Wales.
