Yes. All your land does not need to be in one block. You don't even need to own it all. Rented land also counts. In fact you could say that you rent additional land, by arrangement with a willing landowner. You do not need to prove that you farm it, you only need to say that you do.
Interesting thanks for the answer ;-) Does this apply in Wales as well ?

I don't know about Wales. Best thing to do is look at the form you have to fill in and see if it states that land must be owned, or if it asks for any proof that you actually farm the land that you say you do.
