The Rural Payments Agency has said that the public sector strike action planned for Wednesday is likely to affect its services.
In a statement issued this morning, the agency said: “While we will try and limit the impact on farmers, it is likely that there will be some disruption to normal services.
"This action is likely to be most keenly felt by farmers calling our customer service centre.
“We won’t know the extent of the industrial action until Wednesday; however indications are that the CSC will continue to offer a limited service. While we will try to answer as many queries as we can there are alternatives until things return to normal.
“Cattle farmers who use the British Cattle Movement Service will still be able to use the Cattle Tracing System Online service and the self-service telephone line, on 0845 011 1212, to apply for cattle passports and report movements. The RPA website will be available for anyone who requires general information.
