Farmers who currently do not meet the organic nitrogen reduction condition of the Beef Exceptional Aid Measure (BEAM) risk losing as much as €40m in payments, the
Irish Farmers Journal understands.
Irish Farmers Journal, some 14,072 BEAM participants are currently meeting the 5% requirement, with a further 967 farmers reporting a reduction of between 4% and 5%.
The remaining farmers, 19,373 of them, have until 30 June 2021 to meet the scheme requirements and there is concern that some farmers will have to pay back money due to misssing targets.
The €40m at risk represents more than half of the €77.72m paid out to 33,445 farmers under the measure.
