Thanks Livestock 1; I can consider that :)

Apologies if you already know about this, but any farmers out there that are also involved in University studies may find this useful: This communication was aimed at university researchers, but is also open (as far as I can tell) to businesses. Please read the links for more information...

And @lloyd sorry, that tirade wasn't aimed at you but it looks as though it was because I quoted to respond.

If it was ideal then there is nothing I can or will do to stop people, but I can insist that they keep their dogs on leads and clean up after their little darlings just like I do with mine. There are a lot if what if this what if that's that people can cite, but it doesn't change my original...

I'll just walk through your living room or barns then should I? 😏 You're taking what I said deliberately out of context. Of course if it isn't a commercial or private piece of land people can't expect to exercise their dogs right through my beans, any more than they can through your arable or...

A big dog 🤣🤣🤣 No, seriously, of course I'd be at just as much risk of theft as any large scale commercial farmer, and losses are to be expected, but we'd have to have gates for when we're closed and maybe some sort of cctv, with the appropriate gdpr notices and considerations of course. I...

Thank you, I'll see what I can find out and I'll report back 😊

I will, but you still haven't told me where to find him 🤣🤣🤣

Not 100٪ tied - we're renting and the assured shorthold is renewed in April, but budget will depend. I have means to raise the cash if the land is right for me but not sticking a pin in it just now.

Yes, things have changed for me and I never did have an option on the land; it was just another piece I was looking into but it never came about. One of the things that has changed for me now is that I'll have an opportunity to push harder for what I want, and the means to devote more time to...

Not that far. It's next door to the Newton Grange car park. I just added the boundary map I got from LR in another reply. I know that it's in a prime location for development and that that will hamper the discussion so I'm open to other land, even a corner of an odd shaped field that's got bad...

Here's the boundary search I got... The particular field I'm interested in is in the blue box. The boundary is what LR say the Church Commissioners for England own the mineral and mining rights to but doesn't show who owns the land. If I can't even find who owns it, I can't start any...

One man's weeds are another man's wild plants, I guess

I'm totally up for going into partnership with like minded people, and as you say, the lease would have to be watertight

5 acres because there are other elements that I want to do on the land besides just market gardening and also because the piece I really really want happens to be 5 acres 😆 I have some experience helping on a farm mixed and (I know you'll roll your eyes at this) I've had an allotment for the...
