[QUOTE="New Puritan, post: 1680086, member: 39018"] Thanks all, again. As for livestock, the current farmer doesn't have any, and he doesn't strike me as someone who would have run the fertility of his soil right down over the years, so I assume he's been having fallow years / growing legumes etc. I'm not interested in having any animals really, if this venture has to be part-time as it won't pay on its own, then I can't be down there all the time looking after them. Back to my earlier questions, [LIST] [*]How much time will it take growing crops on 80 acres, bearing in mind the necessity for this to be part-time? [*]Are there still incentives for unusual crops - borage, linseed, lupins, poppies etc? (And has anyone grown these organically?) [/LIST] I've been reading through loads of postings on the forum, but forgive me if I ask a question that has been answered elsewhere as there is a lot of info here, and clearly a lot of knowledgeable people - thanks to everyone.
