[QUOTE="Pasty, post: 5049196, member: 1651"] Agree with Werzle. Speak to a local land agents about grazing licenses, not tenancies. This means someone just buys the crop of grass from you but you retain access to the land and you can always leave a plot out if you want a little bit to play with short term. I was charging £65/ac but could probably have got more and that was sheep / mowing only from March to December. If you do allow cattle, make sure there is a clause to get them off by end of Sept or so, depending on the soil. Depending on your BPS / tax plans, you may want to make sure you retain 'Active Farmer' status as well. That would mean you would need to be in charge of topping, hedge cutting, fences etc. But that may not matter to you. [/QUOTE]
