From what I can tell grassland can be anything from free to 150 quid an acre and both can be great or a pin in the ass and arable starts at 100-200 in my area but these are just my observations and literally no one actually talks about rent even when locking into multi generation tenancy's (...

Everything

It’s ok, I can’t lie I’m very emotional at the moment. It’s so sad what uk ag has become. Everyone I know can see what is happening and what it means for uk but it seams no one ( in charge ) gives a f**k at all. As for the lad , I’m so sorry he felt he couldn’t talk to anyone , fu cking farming...

How on earth do you think I’m having a laugh ? I read an article saying a young man finished harvest , dug a hole and shot himself …. What’s funny about that ?? It sound fricking horrific.

Because outside money needs a place to hide

I have had a bad year but this young lads tail is heartbreaking . My god it’s so upsetting.

No your right

I sometimes think the farmers weekly is like a mills and boon novel. It’s. Basically an ad mag

Not far wrong , would love to see a spoof , the Tory farm

They are now adverting for civil servants on podcasts. I was quite surprised. Must be a crap job. I have a laugh googling defra videos on YouTube. Very cringe. Mice’s offices tho. Very nice

Just had an instagram video of a lad from the town who had been taking to a farmer about how we are being advised to plant trees and flowers and produce Less food , even he says it’s daft , he was not happy , he’s has 11000 views so far.

Agreed. It’s not a competition really , we are all on the same team . Rich or poor we are all being pressured by outside influences. Some more the others . I’m sadly in the more camp , tho I’m still luckier than others and I never forget that

… Like I said it’s good for you that’s fine you didn’t seem me take anyone down I simply said it’s not really adding up for me , due to several reasons. Good luck to the winners

It’s really simply not with the bother and trying to get bigger is more work more debit less margin , I don’t really think you win you just are busy all the time working for others really

The lucky farmers have no real debts or nominal rents , there seem to be afew on here after that it’s money for jam but borrowing or trying to build up in these conditions is to be honest terrifying , I’ve really looked hard at my farm business and it’s not great even with better farm gate...
