The new agri-environmental ACRES Co-operation scheme has been launched for farmers in Kerry & West Cork areas.

Farmers are been invited to meetings to inform them on how to find out if they are eligible for the ACRES CP or General stream of ACRES, how to apply, an overview of the objectives of the scheme and examples of actions they might be able to carry out on their farms under the scheme.
