Again thanks for the replies. Quite a range but always is. Sub £200 I don’t feel it’s a goer tbh on the other hand I’ve heard talk of £400 which I feel is only good for one party and that’s not the way to build a long term relationship. How often can spuds be grown on the same land ?

How long does it take land to recover from spuds ? Thanks for all the replies I’m looking for an average price per acre for the five year let if anyone has any experience I’d be interested.

Morning All Could anyone give me an idea what 180 acres of land in one block is worth to let out on a 5 year FBT for cropping or spuds corn and maize. All been down to grass for 10 years but ploughed regularly. Cheers Ray Oh it’s in West Midlands btw

It’s just the fact I have it in writing exactly what the deal was and now he wants £400 more and I don’t have a spare engine to have reconditioned and sell. Solicitor says not to pay which means he won’t release truck so have to pay solicitor and wait til either he realises he’s going to lose...

Two of the quotes fitted new injectors as standard. I missed that in the detail Reason I ask is because as I say I know f all about engines but as some fit them as standard I thought I’d ask the question on here.

The con man who is trying to extract extra money from me says two injectors failed which knackered engine. I know f all about engines but he’s already tried to pinch my engine after I bought a reconditioned engine fitted from him which is now my old engine cobbled.

5 year old 50 k miles. Been conned on whole job

When reconditioned engine is fitted should new injectors be fitted ? If yes should these be a standard part of the fit ?

Do Pickstocks take French and German ?

Just a thought but if you want help and advice Terry Baylis who was the man who had the vision and foresight to start Farmers Ferry which morphed into Farmers Fresh would be worth a call. If ever a man deserved a Knighthood it’s that man. He had farmers interests in his heart from day one. I’d...

Surely that’s his prerogative. We all make mistakes we’ll i certainly do anyway. That straw doesn’t eat or drink a lot where it is he may in the end be proven right a year or even a month in farming is a long time.

It makes no difference to me what’s more or less profulitable than dairy. You seem to be struggling with the concept that there is life outside farming ! Luckily I’m now mid 40’s and good income isn’t on my list.

Dude I have no interest in helping you find a way to farm for profit. I am saying there’s things other than farming that are profitable many much more profitable than dairy farming. I’m no longer interested in profit. Making money becomes an obsession. I will for the rest of my life be...

I appreciate the apology but please don’t feel you owe one. I was wanting a post exactly like yours. You only put into print what a large percentage of farmers think and say when someone exits the industry. I absolutely agree I’m better off getting out that’s why I will be doing it.

Well I believe there’s a whole host of things that offer the potential to make more than dairy farming especially with the price drops we are looking at. In my case it’s not about making money I can do that dairy farming. So my “better off” will be maybe different to yours. I won’t need to work...

Please don’t be sorry. Tbh I only usualy reply to the posts that annoy me so you’re probably right in your view. I didn’t start posting on this subject from anger though but to be supportive because I knew what would come. I totaly disagree on your view of his “can’t cut it view though”. IMHO...

That’s the one I’ve been waiting for to prove my point. Thank you. “You just couldn’t cut it being a farmer” This is why people are afraid to give up and move on. Just because of nasty sneering comments like that. I will be out of farming other than a steering roll within the next two...

I’m now one of the other 10% I’m afraid. Used to be with the 90. I do come on TFF but none of the others. Never read a farming magazine anymore. I just Farm to help my kids and I’m well under 50. My head doesn’t go when a cow dies tbh I couldn’t care less any more. As for your last quote for 90%...

Newsflash Some people do not farm. Believe it or not there is much more to life than farming.

It can happen very very quickly though. Book and advertise this week sell next week. It’s not Brexit is it !!
