Land prices

There must be a large proportion of farmers that have bought land on interest only in the last 20/30 years, to not be able to repay the capital as well is something I would not do. I can't make enough per acre to make buying land at today's price an attractive option. You need cash in the bank IMO or do less work and don't worry about your neighbors. Debt is good when you can pay the bank and make a profit. The % from building rollover etc must be very small in the UK.

150ac recently sold for £26k/ac. Private deal and no house or buildings so people aren’t trying to pay for it via farming because if they were then it’s worth £5k/ac.
