No entitlements at all.
Starting fresh.

If you get entitlements from the reserve you cannot stack or sell them.
I think this is the last year where you can stack, but that's based upon 2014 entitlements & 2013/2015 area base, as you're only starting this does apply to you.
Also if you farm lesser area next year then you will only have entitlement for the lesser area, with the difference returning to the reserve

Mary, you have great enthusiasm & I wish you well with your farming future.
I think you're best visit your local Ag advisor, as there is potential for GLAS & the new BTAP

Mary, you really need to take Farrell's advice.. Your local AG advisor is your first port of call, while you will get lots of good well meaning advice in this forum some of it will conflict with others and maybe cause confusion..nobody here knows your own particular circumstances and this is where your advisor comes in...best of luck anyway..
