Would it grow tatties? 300 acres is a nice size to do cereals, 50 acres of tatties between you and a few Neighbour’s and have opportunistic beef finishing to consume the waste, add fertility.
Think you know very little about the Climate in Northumberland.Nudist camp ... on all 300ac
He who bares, wins

Most up here will take grass if they get they get to cut it when it suits them.I’m always intrigued when selling grass to AD is mentioned, as around here they aren’t interested in grass, just maize, beet or Rye
Hello all,
Hypothetical question here. What would everyone do if they had a 300 acre greenfield site of grade 3 land?
Build a dairy? Go all cereals? Sheep?

Weren't you a high flyer in the City trading last time we spoke to you ?
Did it work out enough to buy your own farm ?
A few are ! I’ve spoken to two this week , sick as pigs and believe the market has peaked for land , I don’t blame them, I think them selling are wiser them then buying at the moment to be honest and that’s a bits sad .or sell it ,and live
Stumbled????Pfft. Have you seen nudists?
I once stumbled upon some Germans in the raw on a beach in Mallorca.
Their weenies were very .. er .. weany. And that was just the women
Anyway, the only profitable livestock worth farming are human ones
He spelt tracked down wrongStumbled????
How much rent per acre could you get? Would that not be a good income for no effort, top it up doing something else?Ok, bit more info. of ideas I'm thinking as it needs to provide a good full time income for a family:
- Build a basic dairy and milk 300 jersey cows once a day as a flying herd
- Continuous wheat
- Continuous spring barley with cover crops in between
- 180 spring calving suckler cows with calves sold as stores
