The person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from the 1^st September 2010 and full payments have issued in respect of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Scheme years.

Payments for the 2013 Scheme year will commence when the administrative checks, including the cross check against the Land Parcel Identification System, have been carried out on all applications. These checks must be successfully completed before payment can issue to any individual farmer. These administrative checks are well underway and I anticipate payments will commence issuing this month.
