Forgotten farmer scheme

I see that the minster is hoping for a scheme to be launched for people who classify as forgotten farmers, any idea who would qualify for this and what will the payment rate be? I missed out on the insulation aid back in the day

I only started farming in my own right 3 years ago. I was 41 at the time and just wondering is there anything I'm entitled too.
I've been farming all my life with the father but never had a heard number. (And rarely got any money for sales either)

In a word, no. You stop being a young farmer the day you turn 40.
I’m afraid you wouldn’t be considered a “forgotten farmer” just somebody that started late in the eyes of the department
