You are so true in saying that they are preventing future generations the opportunity to farm the land . We have a son that would dearly have loved to take over the farm from us, we even had a verbal agreement with the agent last but one . He has now left the industry, probably never to return and gone and got a job. His degree in agriculture counted for nothing with the NT.Best of luck @silverfox and @Charlie Flindt in your retirement
At the end of the day we are all tenants somebody had it before us and somebody had it after us .
You cant blame Charlie for playing the hand he was dealt to max ad vantage but that doesent excuse the pack of tossers that masquerade as the NT .
Compare how the approached and bought out charlie becuase he held the ace card of an AHA with one generation left with the Disgraceful way the strong armed @Oscar into rewilding and enviro stuff and the crock of shite the handed @bluepower which eventually forced him out .
The NT should be wound up and tenants given first refusal to buy at reasonable rates .
In fact the Gov should make interest free loans available for such measures .
The could do it for the contrary Irish during the land wars why not today for their own people ??
The real tragedy here is that some young farmer wont get to enjoy the same opportunity to farm as charlies father and charlie did with the farm been converted to a fire hazard as thats all rewilding is as has been well demonstrated this summer .
Oh and @Charlie Flindt after so many years of farming a fair spread at small rent ?? And no savings !!! Go on ye hoor ye you must have the price of it under the mattress .....
I personally am amazed at Charlie Flindts' decision. He will now have to live on the farm he has loved and watch those idiots destroy it. I personally would have asked them to pay me out and get the f**k out of it. Just my thoughts!
