The person named is not the person who applied for and was approved into GLAS. An application was made to my Department to transfer the GLAS 2 contract to the person named and this transfer request has been approved by the Department. The details of the new herd owner must also be updated on the commonage database and when this is completed processing of the 2016 GLAS payment will proceed.
