The objective of the Beef Environmental Efficiency Programme – Suckler is to further increase economic and environmental efficiency in the suckler herd through better quality data on herd performance, supporting decision making on farm and support of best practice in welfare management.

The closing date for receipt of applications for this programme was 15 May 2020.  Applications could only be made via my Department’s online application system at www.agfood.ie.  Travel restrictions would not have prevented the persons named from submitting an application and accordingly a late application cannot be accepted in this case.
