Ireland proposes to define a young farmer as aged no more than 40 years of age at any time during the calendar year in which she/he first submits an application under Pillar I or Pillar II measures for young farmer support.\ Claire-Jeanne Nash.
The CAP strategic plan requires member states to set aside at least 3% of its Pillar I budget for young farmers.
In Ireland’s case this equates to an annual fund of €35m for the Complementary Income Support for Young Farmers.
This will be distributed to farmers through a combination of a payment per eligible hectare (2% out of the 3%) up to a maximum of 50ha and a higher level of grant aid (remaining 1%) under the next Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme.
