The first two tranches of GLAS resulted in almost 38,000 farmers being approved into the scheme in its first year of implementation, some 26,300 in GLAS 1 and 11,700 in GLAS 2. The first full year of GLAS 1 and GLAS 2 contract payments are due in 2016 and the prepayment checking process is currently under way for both schemes with a view to commencing payment of the first instalment representing 85% of total payment due before the end of 2016.
