SFP

sardonic

Asking this on behalf of a friend. He has around 45 to 50 acres and his sfp is €1200 to €1300. The last of his cattle were sold recently. Would his payment be cut next year due to having no animals or is it based on the acerage of his farm. Thanks.

No animals needed, the great thing about the SFP:mad: is he has to do nothing to claim it only keep the land in good order and comply with cross compliance

If he is in a disadvantaged area he will need to keep some stock for three months. How many depends on the size of the holding

useless info......

disadvantaged area payment is based more on socio-economic data than soil or rainfall data.

I think to be more accurate it is probably b(i)ased on whether yer great grandad was a blueshirt or not:o

OP If the neighbour is disadvantaged he needs to have had a minimum stocking rate of 0.16 livestock units per hectare, which translates roughly to 1 cow to 15 acres for the year, or 2 cows to 15acres for 6 months.

No he is not in the disadvantaged area so no problem there.

I farmed myself up to 8 years ago and we were in disadvantaged area scheme due to having land in another townland that was in the DA scheme. People like my neighbour went ape about it and had public meetings to include them in the scheme. No joy though.
