Question re- letting land for tillage

    I'm a part time farmer (sucklers and beef cattle in Galway). Due to a reduction in stock numbers, I have 10-12 acres of grassland that I won't graze this year. Rather than make hay/silage and sell it, I'm considering renting the land for tillage.
    1. Will this affect my REPS and SFP?
    2. What is the going rate per acre?
    3. Is is feasible that the tillage farmer would re-seed the land as part of the deal - would it make financial sense.
    For me the ideal solution is to rent it for the year, get it re-seed as part of the deal and leave my REPS/SFP unaffected. Is this realistic???

    Any advice is appreciated.

    My advice would be do a deal with a tillage farmer, maybe he grows a crop this year and does the work to put it back in grass (plough, till & sow) and you supply the grass seed, and you enter it as a crop on your sfp form and reps, then you'll have no problem in losing entitlements or reps area. Hard to give advice on what its worth per acre, after been a tough year on con acre men.
