I can confirm that an Agri-Climate Rural Environment Scheme (ACRES) application for Tranche 2 was not submitted on behalf of the person named.

Tranche 2 of ACRES opened for applications on Friday, 24 November 2023 and closed at 5.30pm on Wednesday, 13 December 2023.

The application process was outlined via ACRES Circular No 29/2023, dated 24 November 2023, which was sent as a reminder to all ACRES advisors. The process required advisors to undertake the following mandatory steps for each application

1. Submit an Expression of Interest;

2. Prepare and submit a Farm Sustainability Plan (FSP);

3. Complete and submit the ACRES application to include relevant document uploads (Rare Breeds and Soil Sampling).

The first two steps of the application process were completed for the persons named. However, the final step to submit the ACRES application was not completed by the closing date and time. As the application process was not completed on behalf of the persons named, no application was successfully submitted for this herd number.

As the application window for Tranche 2 of ACRES has now closed, no further applications can be submitted.
