Cash boost for Tipperary farmers as share of €1.9million funding to hit bank accounts
Over €87,000 will be distributed to farmers as part of the Baling Assistance Payment
Tipperary farmers will get a welcome financial boost in the coming days as a Department of Agriculture payment is set to hit their accounts.
Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Martin Heydon confirmed this Thursday that farmers across the Premier County who have applied for the Baling Assistance Payment (BAP) will begin to receive payments in the coming days.
A total of €87,202.50 will be distributed to farmers across Tipperary as part of the scheme, with over 33 herds to benefit, the Department of Agriculture have said.
Minister Haydon said that the scheme “was introduced in summer 2024, as a once off measure, to support tillage farmers to produce straw for bedding and for fodder during a particularly difficult period of weather.
“Farmers who chose to withdraw or partially withdraw from SIM and enter BAP will start to receive payments in the coming days,” Minister Haydon added.
The Tipperary funding comes among a total funding packet of €1.9million for farmers across the country.
