[QUOTE="Bracklandbarn, post: 7372364, member: 20576"] No, I certainly don’t think that they would go to “new entrants”. Having grown up on a tenanted estate, my experience is much the same as what you are describing, hence I dropped everything, moved East and now run 700 ewes on fag packet arrangements in electric fencing from a semi detached house. however I have never completely given up on the hope that something in my area may come available. Washing out a livestock trailer on your garden, Cade lambs in the garage and a dead bin in a neighbours yard isn’t really where I want to be in 5 years time- therefore I am ever the optimist!! I suppose the bug bear is that whilst I personally know of some very good older farmers still turning a healthy profit on AHA tenancies, I also see (both at “home” and my current location) farmers who have mothballed their whole farm to see out their days, worse still in my eyes then sub letting (surely contravening their tenancy ag?!) I suppose my hope is that whether they go to “new entrants” or not,that they are replaced with someone who can progress their business now. This is what I hoped the loss of BPS would encourage 😒 [/QUOTE]
