Single Payment Entitlements.... Yawn!
« on: June 01, 2013, 04:55:16 pm »
We have moved into a small farm with 28 acres.  Previously it was empty and the farmer next door had been using and tending the land and claiming single farm payments for the land.  Now we're here and he is not using the land or the entitlement.  Is it worth us buying the entitlement from him to claim payment going forward?

What would be a market rate for the entitlement?

If he will not sell the entitlement how can we buy it from elsewhere?

What else do we need to know about this?

Do you live in Scotland?
If so you maybe able to apply under the new entrants scheme.
I have just downloaded the forms myself.

Where do you get those forms from?  I have been looking and can't find them.

Thanks

I think the first step is to register the Land as a change of owner/use form.
I saw this in the Scottish Farmer.
