Well would you believe this!! To say Im pi+#ed is an understatement! How many of us spent many hours preparing a business plan for the Duchy Farm, Lyde, Hereford on the basis that the particulars said NO DAIRY, only to be used as a mixed farm, Well would you bloody know it but its let to a DAIRY...

I really hope so

while you've got potato boys around here paying over £400 acre rent and AD plants paying £250 ac rent for maize any decent land in-between has to fetch top money, but the rent cannot be covered by stock farming alone. smaller tenant farmers will have to find better routes to market than just...

depends on what terms you made the offer, we offered a scaling rent as the farm needed so much work to put right, and whether anyone made provisions for 2022 and the possible decline in Single Farm Payments. Yes I would agree that any offer in these figures as rent starting from day one would be...

I asked for feedback on our tender, as its a good way to learn. £165 per acre was "Very low to the other tenders". Nothing wrong with only going to what you think the farm can sustain, but that puts all farm tenancies (even those with dilapidated buildings and houses) out of reach of all new...

letter saying very high amount of applications to a very high standard, etc. Our price was on the high side but allowing us to make some profit. and wouldn't of gone any higher

well thats us off the list, must be some silly money floating around! onwards and upwards

How many ppl watching this thread holding their breath?

D day today, good luck to all who placed a tender

@Shropshire Farmer did you go with peas to under so barley? Been looking at barley and pea mix for whole crop towards cattle feed

@dontknowanything how are the peas and wheat going? any more pictures? Been thinking of barley and peas mix for whole crop for a cattle blend, but its proving hard to price per acre, can't see many people doing it, but it seems a good mix!

some wide ranging views on the rent! I always thought that you didn't take into account the property and just valued the land and buildings? Talking to tenants on similar farms this seems to be the norm (older agreements) or are FBT now taking into account the house value?

Break clause actionable by both parties at year 5 and break clause actionable only by tenant at year 10, FBT for 20 years

HI All, Placing a tender for a 20 yr FBT in Herefordshire. Ex dairy farm, buildings ok (tatty) but need some work doing to bring up to spec for beef unit. 220 acres, mainly down to grass, some average leys, fencing needs some attention. Most ground within easy access of farm. No BPS...

Fantastic, were at Porth, I'll PM you when I know more on day and times [emoji106] thanks

Spot on

I always like to see how others are doing it, my wife calls me sad but I call it progress [emoji1][emoji1][emoji1]

Hi All, Im returning to Cornwall for a weeks holiday from the 6th August, staying at Porth. Used to farm at Bospebo Farm, near Keyhelland, Camborne many years ago. Would like to visit any dairy farms milking Friesians. Got back into farming recently but on beef, but passion is still dairy...

@tr250 would like to grow to about 60 head, possibly getting in after weaning (as mentioned above). I do like the shape of the blues, but there would be no harm in using blues, lim and AA as we will be ai then see how we do. My aim is to start with very good genetics as a new herd.

@tr250 I really like Newpole Chalky White as a blue bull. I read the FW article and it made a lot of sense. As I'm starting the herd from scratch Im looking at all options. The sim x blue I really like, but like someone else has said a pure sim put to a good blue bull would work just as well...
