    Where to buy a farm abroad with opportunities to actually farm

    I was brought up on a large Dairy/ Arable farm in the north Cotswolds. My late Father brought Holsteins into the UK. Was out of the industry for around 40 years then bought a small farm close to London. We were originally " playing" at it though now quite serious. Knowledge is the problem...

    Where to buy a farm abroad with opportunities to actually farm

    Where to buy a farm abroad with opportunities to actually farm

    TBH if you don't have children, I would do it. Nearly 1am & we're sitting here trying to balance the books for our little farming enterprise. I took a year out when I turned 40 & travelled through Scandinavia, Europe and Africa in a nice Motorhome complete with Power shower. Never...

    CS CAPITAL GRANT I NEED HELP PLEASE WITH A CLAIM !

    Yes - standalone mid tier , but we cocked up our annual agreement as put some capital works in . RPA were very helpful and removed them then issued a new agreement . However it took a long time and they told me I'd be unable to make a Capital Grant application till the annual agreement was sorted.
