do you have to have animals to qualify for glas or is it dependant on the measures you choose??

There were measures for tillage ground, but no measures required stock if memory serves( bar the rare breeds)

Base price

No letter in post today and OH phoned our planner this evening.
His internet is down today due to a tree falling on a line
We phoned him last week to check our status but he was out of the country due to a family bereavement.

Update - The tenants in the house in the yard picked up the post today. Oh was gone early this morning and I was back in NCD. They dropped our post to him about an hour ago and among the post was confirmation that we are in

My plan that was submitted is up on agfood.ie now. It just says submitted, but no letter in post as of yet.

Count Mondego

Christ, you'd swear ye're all on death row waiting for the pardon from the governor. It will be out in the next week, that's not going to make a blind bit of difference if it arrived last friday or next friday. Everyone who applied has been accepted FFS!!!!!!!

P.S

Haven't go my letter yet...

ganmo

the only time I've heard a letter taking a week to reach the the right place is when the address is wrong...Standard delivery time is 1/2 days

It's not that I'm on death row, I don't like being told something when I know its a lie.

Charliebull

there back dated as they have to be issued before 31st october in order to qualify for a 3 month payment this year

Brown Podzol

I got the acceptance letter. That's my mad money sorted for the next five years.:p

Farrell

Got in too, see you have till 15th to pull out, if needed.

Grueller

In too as of 30th October.

I got all of mine done between the middle of August and about a fortnight ago as it needed doing anyhow regardless of acceptance or not to glas. I have a lot of infilling to do now so I need to go and source bareroot plants now and get them planted.

Was going to do the same but adviser told me not to until i got confirmation and as i only got that yesterday its too late now,a complete fcuk up by the dept

Dozer1

He said not to do anything I case of inspection

kelslat

Are people still getting approval letters? Nothing here yet!

Wes Palmer Lee

Yeah they're still coming out in drips and drabs I'm told
Still waiting also.

kelslat

Thanks wes! We will have to wait a little longer.

Wes Palmer Lee

I emailed them to see how my application was getting on.
Got a fairly quick reply saying it had come up with a query and that I'd have to wait..
My start date wouldn't be til Jan 2016 so I'm patiently waiting...

Put in for a load of coppicing whitethorn hedges, kind of sorry now cos most of them are on bad land along drains. It would be tricky to get down to the10cm with the chainsaw while trying to keep my balance in a 4ft dyke!

Does that mean you won't get a payment in december if you don't get a start date till January? I put in for a lot of coppicing as well, how long do we get to do it?

Wes Palmer Lee

I'll be happy if I get a payment at all..!

I got only 15 acres and wondering if it would be worth going into this scheme,

All with the same LPIS number?

5 acres of wild bird cover = 1800euro.
5 acres of hay meadow = 630 euros.
5 acres of Permanent pasture = 628 euros.
Total = 3058 euros.
Over 5 years = 15,290 euros.
Plus you'll be in Tier 2, giving a better chance of being accepted.

Thanks for that
that would affect the single farm payment etc then?

I was told I had to have applications in by next Monday and have to get a private guy to draw up a plan for then, cost is 375 EUROS I think for that and no guarantee I will be accepted.

TITANIUM.

I'd say it will be next July before you get your letter tbh.

Wes Palmer Lee

Are you serious??
If I'm accepted the start date would be Jan 1st 2016.

I'd have to get some confirmation before that surely..

These 3 actions cannot be carried out on 1 parcel. Hopefully your 15 acres is divided into a few parcels.

I'm taking it that your not 1 of the lucky ones that have got in for the last 3 months of this year. I have applied for next year's one as well. I didn't go this year as I still had a year of AEOS left. Same start date as yourself and my planner told me not to do a thing till I know I'm accepted (which I'm assuming I will as I have 2 tier 1 measures) and that won't be till next July. Sure some lad's that are being paid for Oct Nov Dec of this year still don't know if there accepted.
Check the rules as there different next year,hedgeing is gone. A few more big differences to.

If a farmers three measures are
Traditional hay meadow
Low input pasture and
Fencing off a stretch of river
What are the chances of getting into Glas 2?

Well I'm in bother as my planner has just submitted those 3 actions on 1 parcel.
As far as I'm aware you can combine WBC, hay meadow and pasture on 1 parcel. The only catch is that, there can only be 3 separate areas digitised out on 1 parcel.

Very slim I was told.

My planner told me I'd want to plant the wild bird cover to increase chance of getting in but even at €900/h I didn't feel it worth it. I have put in for LIPP, fencing of waterways, coppicing, bee sand and all the bird and bat boxes.

You might be in Tier 2 because of the river, it depends if the river is in a water vulnerable area and your land is classified as wet for GLAS purposes and you had bovines in 2014.

sonnybill

Got my plan done there today . Fingers crossed .

Don't panic you might be ok. Would it be possible to add some native trees? Help you in the scoring system. Tier 3s might have a better chance than originally thought. As of the weekend gone by, only 400 plans have been submitted to the Department so I doubt it will be near as oversubscribed as first thought

I thought the tree planting option was gone.
Plan is gone in now so fingers crossed.

Got it from the Department. 11500 applications exist yea, which consist of draft plans or texts sent out. Not plans that will all be submitted. There's a few thousand of them which have already cancelled so the Tier3s should have a lot better chance than originally thought

Anyone think this will be undersubscribed? I'm tier 3 but if I opt into low slurry emissions spreading I'll move to tier 2. Is it worth it?

You want to have to have pretty good land for that slurry I;d say
using rivers and LIPP here to get the €5000
