The Tenant Farmers Association (TFA) has slammed the government's pace of its delivery of the new Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) scheme as 'unacceptable'.
Defra has strenuously denied accusations from agricultural leaders that a lack of progress has been made on government pledges made during the Number 10
Minister McConalogue will meet with farm organisations tomorrow on the issues of the Nitrates Derogation and scheme payment dates.
More than £290 million in direct payments has been issued to nearly all of Northern Ireland's farmers, the Department of Agriculture (DAERA) has confirmed.
Defra has announced that the launch of SFI won't be until mid-September following assurances that the scheme would be ready for August 2023.
