Levels of activity have jumped majorly, as expected in the last week, with 23,717 applications submitted online, bringing the total number to 106,921 as of Tuesday evening.
There will be a similar number submitted before the closing date, which also marks the date of application for numerous schemes such as the Tillage Incentive Measure, with BPS applications also required under practically every agricultural or environmental scheme.
