    34 hectares is the maximum area that you can receive payment on I believe.

    I don't know what the rate per hectare is. Maybe someone has a statement from last year handy and can check???

    EDIT: €95.99 per hectare I just found on a google search.

    Maximum payment therefore is €3263.66 (For lowland only) (there is a higher rate for mountain.)

    Area aid is dead and gone, the single farm payment is the scheme in operation at the moment. Inheriting some land doesn't automatically mean that you would have any right to claim SFP, the land would have to have SFP entitlements attached to it first, it may have if the person who passed it on to you was actively farming it but mightn't if it has been rented out.

    The best place to find out is with the person who farmed it last year, if that person is not available you'll have to go to the Dept of Ag and look for their info.

    No matter whether or not you are eligible to collect SFP on the land you'll still be able to use it to keep some donkeys if that's what you wish.
