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?
