Not sure if youre talking about two numbers your own first then family one? In the past schemes the date you got the herd number was key and if you had cattle in your name/herd and claimed lands on SPS you were deemed to be farming. If you amalgamated herd with the family afterwards that was just an administrative matter not a new date starting up.

Taking over the farm Ablur, i suppose on "paper", if it was in mothers name (the herd number)till 2015 and then the sons name was put on and mother taking off, is the sons "start of farming date" 2015? in relation to the young farmer thing for the sbp

Yes for young farmers & make sure you submit the BPS application in your name this year. 2015 would be start of farming then.

I'm in the same boat myself. Started farming in 2011.

Same here, qualified for all of six weeks of the YF scheme, and it took so long to get everything together for my TAMSII application I missed out on my 60% on that by two weeks. I've been waiting for the Government to get their act together so I can go call on a local TD to chew his ear off about penalizing me at 27 for committing to farming too early. I suppose when they can't even get the Dail in order after an election, it's pie in the sky to think they will sort out this mess of a scheme.

Hi there - sorry to bring up a thread from 2015 - but did any of you have any update on your situations as Old Young Farmers...? Like did anything ever happen in relation to this anomaly...?

Any ideas why this anomaly was never addressed by the Department?

I think we were in the minority
I’m an older farmer now
Maybe in next CAP all U40 farmers will be treated equally
