The person named has already been paid in full under the 1988 cattle and equine headage scheme. Because of his high stocking rate, his claim for livestock headage grants exceeded the allowable limit of £30.66 per acre of the forage area devoted to grazing beef cows and £18.21 per acre of the forage area devoted to grazing other cattle.
