    Walter P...Brexit..Farmers...Turkeys

    Yep, quite agree - just amused me that the one industry that arguably has been protected most by membership of the EU can’t see it As ever there will be winners and losers I’m just not sure the losers know its them yet

    Walter P...Brexit..Farmers...Turkeys

    Haha - I was literally just sitting around the table stating my opinion regarding the resemblance that farmers voting for brexit were of turkeys sticking their hands in the air around November time - especially beef farmers

    Valuing a business

    I believe you work in the same industry as me - isn’t this exactly the sort of terms that businesses are sold on? Maybe not 5x though

    Father/son relationship and succession

    Maybe Found today very sad - I have some very good friends whose dad was killed in a tragic accident last year. Apparently their family had rented and farmed the same place for over 100 year he was the 4 generation and a greater man you could not meet. Everyone around Totnes will know who I...

    Father/son relationship and succession

They had been in service to manor houses before having their own tenancies before this so I...

    self administered pension

You effectively have your own pension scheme to run with all the associated duties and costs. If the rules are not followed then there can be some absolutely massive fines levied, hence the...

    Keep Farm Subsidies....REMOVE MINETTE BATTERS

    Well maybe with the reduction/scrapping of your precious taxpayer handouts this asset wouldn't be so appealing and hence expensive. Therefore there wouldn't need to be much rent paid?

    What is the average wage per hour for a relief milker?

    I was being paid about that 15ish years ago (the last time I milked a cow) and I wouldn't have said I was Mr Topnotch Cowman - I should have a chat and see if there is anything more/better they would like you to be doing? and also have a look around and see what else you can find and what it...
