The person named declared a forage area of 41.16 hectares on his 2004 area aid application form. His stocking density for 2004, based on this area and the number livestock units on his holding throughout the year as determined from his ewe premium application in the case of sheep and five census in the case of cattle, was 1.4431. Since this stocking density is not less than 1.4 LUs per hectare, the person named is only entitled to payment of extensification premium at the low rate.
