Sheep payment

Country lad

Hi just received sheep payment and only got paid on 3hectares and it should be on 11 hectared I phoned them and they told me I only sent in census for last year but the yearbefore that I sent in census on behalf of my deceased father since then I got my own herd no and took over the sheep farming from my step father just wondering will the department take that into concideration as still have the same sheep

Perhaps your unaware of the general policy in this country to shaft the little fella at every opportunity.
Did you get a different flock number of your own. If so the department are probably counting you as sheep farming for a year.
As the census is averaged over 2 years they have added 0 to last years census and divided by 2.
I think you need 7 sheep per hectare for maximum payment so I'm guessing you had around 42 sheep last year and according to the department 21 on average over 2 years.
You can probably try to explain the force majeure situation and see if they can do anything but I don't want to get your hopes up.
