The first payment due to GLAS 3 approved farmers is for the 2017 scheme year.
All applications have now been processed and applications that have successfully completed the prepayment checks have gone for payment. Applications that have yet to successfully complete the required prepayment checks are actively being worked on by officials in my Department with a view to issuing payment as early as possible.
