Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

I have committed to helping the cohort of farmers known as forgotten farmers.  The details of the eligibility requirements and benefits to successful applicants for any scheme to support the forgotten farmer group are being finalised.  The eligibility requirements and other scheme details will be made publicly available as soon as this process has been completed.
