[QUOTE="wurzell1976, post: 5967224, member: 32168"] I farm over a 17 mile distance having started with no land 30 years ago.Now at the age of 51 i don"t fully understand why,the vanity of all this wore off a long time ago,especially as there is only me and my wife,the children are all below the age of 8.I am in the process of condensing everything into a ring fence farm elsewhere .This will allow me to spend more time with my family,and create a different farming system hopefully with the integration of livestock into an arable rotation .I don"t need a 50 k tractor,new tyres ,bent wheel rims, off colour abuse from other road users,raining when i get there,bed off combine more times than i can count,yobs trying to fire crops whilst i"m on the combine,34 mile round trip dropping off seed and loader ,the list is endless.But the big question is why are you so desperate for more land to farm with what you already have it is pointless,if you are not satisfied with 2900 acres another 400 is not going to help you for long.You asked for comments i,hope this has not come over as being offensive to you as that is not my intention,however i wish you the best what ever you decide.
