Advisers and consultants report a spike in interest from farmers looking to submit TAMS applications in recent days.
Many comment the rush is being driven by a lack of information regarding the opening of further tranches, with tranche 17 the last tranche detailed on the Department’s website.
The Department has previously stated that a decision on further tranches would be taken closer to deadline for tranche 17, so it is possible that there may be developments in this area next week.
