We own a 12 acre smallholding of all permanent pasture, but I can plough up parts for the scheme, is there any way to apply for Countryside Stewardship?
We used to claim Single Farm Payment until about 10 years ago when they introduced a rule about having to have over 5 hectares of ground to apply, is this the same with Stewardship? If so I can rent some locally to get us over the limit, as we're about 4.8 at the moment.
