I get that bit. If you can farm without sub then effectively you are much more efficient and ahead of nearly everyone else as most people’s taxable profits on account are less than their sub cheque so with this in mind you should have this built up already or in the process of why wait?
How can I compete when some have the backing of the sub say in buying sheep or renting land. When it’s gone it be more even.
Will you do it though or will you be moaning about something else’s by then and blaming some other unfair process ?
I already have. I’ve invested all of what I have in building my farm up. I’ve put sheds up and there’s stock in there all year round. Only thing hurting me is the internet rates but anyone with borrowed money is on the same boat
Keep grafting whilst you don’t have them sucking the blood out of you
It feels like that doesn’t itKeep grafting whilst you don’t have them sucking the blood out of you
I’ll be doing it. No point moaning it doesn’t solve anything: I take any opportunity that comes my way. If I have to borrow more money to do so be it. As long as i make the payments and have some left over I’m good
Well you definitely have the right attitude good luck
I used to get 8 hours sleep per night now I don’t. I used to have money now I don’t. I used to have hair now I don’t the list goes on. She does most of kids work, house work and yard work too but she’s not time to help me so I’m a one man army.
Thanks.
Well if it pays without sub you can do it no problem ? I know what you mean but it will never be even ! Land quality and quantitie as well paid for rented mortgage etc never be even .
It’s a start hopefully
Hard going .
It is and i hole it works out for all , all this free money just haveing control of the land has not been good thing
I feel like you wanted to put (youl need it ) on the end!
We all need it !!
Completely agree
Last 12 months has been all work no play. Looking to book a holiday later on in the year to have a week away to force some down time.
I take it you are not that old, there comes a time when you have to put more consideration in to borrowing for infrastructure as you don't still want a load of debt on worthless things when you retire.
We had to buy subsidy entitlements to begin with, it was suckler cow subsidy back then, don't think that every older farmer was just handed it to begin with cos they weren't
Have been to a number of farm sales over the years where the farmer had not long spent a lot of money on infrastructure and something changed so they couldn't make it work. the stock in the shed should pay for the shed plus interest shouldn't they
