THE National Farmers' Union is urging dairy farmers to ensure they have completed and returned their IACS forms to the Rural Payments Agency before next Monday's deadline.
As many as 2,000 dairy farmers across England and Wales will be filling in the Integrated Administration and Control System forms for the first time this year to receive the dairy premium and additional dairy payment, agreed as part of the reforms under the Common Agricultural Policy. The payments will amount collectively to around 0.8 pence per litre for 2004.
