Many farmers around the country are on the cusp of the busy spring period with cows to calve and ewes to lamb shortly. Now may be the time to carry out key GLAS actions before time becomes a premium. Many farmers who chose to plant a grove of native trees under GLAS III have until 31 March 2018 to complete this action. Farmers will receive €0.90/tree for the five years of the scheme. It is important to note that the deadline to have the area where the grove is to be planted fenced off was 31 October 2017.
