08 June 1998 BRING EWE PAYMENT FORWARD, SAYS NFU _BY FWI STAFF_ BEN Gill, National Farmers Union president, has written to the Department of Agriculture asking for the first advance ewe


premium to be brought forward. The payment doesnt usually reach farmers until the start of August, but the NFU has urged MAFF to give farmers access to the money as soon as possible in order


to provide some short term relief to the ailing livestock sector. _FWi_ reported last week that a group of farmers visiting the European Union Commission learned that the aid was already


with the UK Government and there was no reason why it couldnt be released immediately. * SAP payment available now, _FWi_, 5 June — Click here
