How to qualify for farm assist payment

Zenify · 2017-08-04 20:35:11

Hypothetical question, If I have a small farm with chickens and vegetables over 2 acres beside my house that my wife looks after (doesn't work). Can she claim farm assist or does a farm have to be substantial?

I was looking at that already, that mostly explains how it's means tested based on income not on describing a farm. it's description of a farm is bascially someone making money from the land. could these be a 1 acre farm selling some veg to a single ship and getting nearly 200eur?
