Minister for Agriculture Michael Creed has announced an extension to the deadline for submission of Farm Improvement Plans.
There is just one week left to submit Farm Improvement Plans (FIPs) under the Knowledge Transfer (KT) Programme.
As it stands, approximately 11,200 FIPs have been completed and submitted across all six sectors of the KT Programme.
Payments under the KT Programme are expected to commence in late October, according to the Irish Farmers' Association (IFA).
Close to 85% of KT participants have yet to complete their Farm Improvement Plans (FIPs) with the deadline fast approaching.
