The Irish Creamery and Milk Suppliers’ Association (ICMSA) has called for a fodder support scheme across all sectors in 2024.
Tillage
19,400ha of forage crops have been planted under the Fodder Incentive Measure for tillage farmers. More have been planted outside the scheme.
At least €480,000 will go unspent in the Fodder Production Incentive Measure. A total of 1,701 applications were made under the measure.
There is still time to sow forage crops under the 'Fodder Production Incentive Measure for Tillage Farmers 2018’.
