The persons named submitted applications under the ‘young farmer’ category of the 2015 National Reserve and the Young Farmers’ Scheme with the second named person as the young farmer. The application to the National Reserve was not successful as the applicants exceeded the off farm income limit applicable and the application to the Young Farmers’ Scheme was unsuccessful as the applicants were deemed to have no BPS entitlements available to them. The applicants were notified of this decision and offered the opportunity to submit an appeal.
My Department has received an appeal from the persons named in relation to their National Reserve application. This appeal will be considered by my Department based on the information set out by the applicants and a decision with regard to the outcome of the appeal will be notified in writing to the applicants as soon as possible.
