262. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine his views regarding tillage farmers and the criticism surrounding the min-till requirement, which is acting as deterrent from enrolling in GLAS plus; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38259/16]

I am aware of concerns raised by some farmers and my Department issued a circular on 24 November 2016 to GLAS Advisers clarifying the criteria in respect of combining Minimum Tillage and Catch Crop actions to qualify for GLAS plus payment.  I believe this clarification addresses concerns raised.
