Farmers in Roscommon are being advised to check their online accounts for notifications relating to their 2026 Basic Income Support for Sustainability applications and other area-based schemes.
The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has advised that notifications relating to the Area Monitoring System are due to begin from Wednesday, June 24th, 2026, for a minority of farmers.
The first round of AMS notifications relates to the potential presence of artificial surfaces in land parcels, such as buildings, farmyard extensions and farm roadways.
Farmers, or their advisors, will have 14 days from the notification date to respond to an AMS notification. Further rounds of AMS notifications are due to issue from July 2026 onwards.
The Department says preliminary checks and AMS notifications give farmers an opportunity to correct issues with BISS and other area-based scheme applications without penalty.
Farmers and advisors should check the correspondence section of their MyAgFood online account. Where a farmer is signed up for text message alerts, a text will issue to advise them that they have a notification on their agfood.ie account.
Queries on BISS and other area-based scheme applications can be made to 057 867 4422, while queries on AMS notifications can be emailed to AMS@agriculture.gov.ie.
