SHARING OPTIONS: The letters which farmers received on Monday should be ignored as they do not deliver an accurate representation of the herd's current level of compliance with BEAM. Farmers who received letters on Monday relating to an update of their current compliance with the Beef Exceptional Aid Measure (BEAM) are being advised to ignore this letter due to incorrect calculations being used. The Department of Agriculture states that an IT glitch resulted in the incorrect figures being used to calculate a herd’s compliance and, as such, the update does not deliver an accurate position of the herd’s current compliance.
