    You would need to be using it to be able to claim for it. If you own it, it will show up on your folio, if not then you will need a lease from the owner, matched to their folio.

    And you will need to be using it, either for silage, grazing or it being cut once a year to keep ground in Good Agricultural and Environmental Condition.

    I'd say you would be guaranteed an inspection at some point during the year if you're claiming on ground that hasn't been claimed on before. The first question the Dept will be asking is why this ground has all of a sudden started being used for farming when it hasn't been for the last 20 years?
