Nitrates Derogation and Nitrates Action Programme: Discussion

Mr. Bernard Harris:

One can put the total milk delivered to the co-operative into the calculator. We developed information for 2020 and 2021 to give farmers an indication of where they sat going into 2022. It uses average cow numbers across the year. If farmers refer to their ICBF HerdPlus account, they can see an average cow number. We are currently developing the system for banding to implement this action. It is still a number of months away from finalisation but once it is finalised, that will be clarified in the short term.
