Part-time farmer income limits

Summary

Deputy Kenny asked whether part-time farmers faced an income limit. The Minister said no income limit, farm accounts or farm plan were required for this assistance.

Can the Minister tell us whether an income limit applies in the case of part time farmers who apply for assistance under the western package?

It is not necessary to present farm accounts. I have tried to abolish all restrictions. Income limits apply in relation to payment of headage grants but in this case I have got agreement that for this purpose no income limits will apply and no farm accounts and no farm plans need be presented.
