    off hand i think its o.15 head per hectare
    .( an animal under 24 mths ibeing .6 head )
    , though this years criteria isnt released yet and i think its due to go up to .3 per hec. some time
    not sure how land set aside for fodder is included in this
    i might be wrong so maybe wait for others posts before acting

    Ya it has gone up, so has the min time from 3 months to 6 months that you have to have cattle. I could be wrong too:o, I suppose it is to encourage more active farmers. OP have you tried contacting local dvo for exact info?

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    No didn't contact dvo, was just looking for a estimate and couldn't find much on the department website.

    Think you're refering to disadvantage areas payment whereas the question seemed to refer to the single farm payment for which there is no minimum stocking rate

    Not yet, but if Mr. Coveney gets his way the new DAS rules will also be applied to the SFP as well. So-called "Inactive" famers are not very fashionable right now.

    sorry , i forgot to mention the new 6 mth requirement . i tried to find out the details from teagasc but no-body seems to know until the details are published.
    though its like the poster said, inactive farmers = low revenue so expect it sooner than later

    From what year will the DAS rules come into effect? Will the apply to 2012?

    DAS was effective in 2011 but stocking rate doubled for 2012 plus you have to have them over 6 months rather than 3 months in 2011. No stocking criteria for SFP

    Correct Red Bull but the noises emitting from Mr. Coveney suggest that the new DAS rules will also be applied to the new SFP when it comes into effect. Keep an eye on the recent press releases on the Dept. Ag. website. You wouldn't need to be Nostrodamus to see the future fate of the small farmer.
