    another farm gone

    This oxygen conservation people sound like a bunch of cowboys. Cashing in on carbon credits for £££ nothing to do with the environment. Greed is all it’s about. Sets a worrying precedent for all farms coming up for sale. Especially those on marginal ground. Inheritance tax relief and this now...

    SFI - Self Help and Tips

    Thanks for that. Can you do another agreement within the 3 year agreement? So it’s not like css where you have to wait?

    SFI - Self Help and Tips

    Putting an application together. Want to put most of our rye grass to sam3. My problem is don’t want to have all my grass sprayed off at the same time. Can I put say 50% in this autumn and the remainder next spring?

    Where to buy a farm abroad with opportunities to actually farm

    How easy are any of these country’s to start up in though? Age, Visas, minimum investment amounts that sort of thing. I imagine nz, oz Canada must have fairly strict immigration rules?

    I mean family. Looking after the kids, dropping at school type thing. Not around the farm so much . I’m sure friends would help but takes time to build connections where ever you are

    Where to buy a farm abroad with opportunities to actually farm

    Always liked the look of NZ. Large sheep and beef south island somewhere. YouTube really gives you a proper insight into the reality day to day anywhere. Over there looks hard going tbh. Farm gate prices much lower maybe even 50% than us and no subs. You’d have to run at least 2 or 3 times the...

    Intensive cell grazing cattle

    We do have housing. Could house 200 6-8 month olds bought Oct/nov But would then need to set aside ground for silage, corn etc. plus the actual cost of making the conserved feed either clamp/bales /grain/straw and feeding it out and bedding. Although paying more in the spring to bring cattle on...

    Intensive cell grazing cattle

    What suit of dlwg would you be expecting? Did they perform worse, better or no difference on grass of that length/quality? Also is that rye grass or legume/herbs in the mix?

    Intensive cell grazing cattle

    That’s interesting. Yes was looking at Harry Weir’s system. Not with bulls mind. So you think they do better in larger mobs? Was that purely on dlwg or more ease of management with only one mob to move? Weather must play a part I guess, In a wet time do they not cause too much damage or are you...

    Intensive cell grazing cattle

    As the title suggest considering going down this route with the cattle. Mega simple system, no breeding stock, one stock class. 12 month old bought in 400kgish animals, groups of 40 grazed from March to November on good free draining ground. Fresh cell every day, grazing herbal lays, no corn...

    Planning Applications, PD and the like (General Chat)

    Fantastic. If we were to add solar pv to the roof in the meantime would that need any planning? Again AONB.

    So have a barn with an AONB in the perfect location for a farm shop. It’s not 10 years old yet but when it does can we use class R permitted development? Thanks
