[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 9248903, member: 86168"] 2nd person to tell me that. yes, 70+ Exeter on friday, rest will go as and when, some we will fatten, some we will sell fresh next autumn, and some will be sucklers. taken over a year for son to decide, partly waiting to see how much siblings want, we still don't know, but we will lose land. Kivells have had to wait, but they have been really helpful, talked it through with him several times. but slurry regs, parlour needs a chunk of money, the buildings are tired, needs a lot of money spent, and he doesn't want to borrow that much, and l can't blame him, plus he's only missed 4 milkings, in the last 8 yrs, so he's done his stint. And l am pretty useless for any work now, this winter has aggravated the arthritis. And this has been a shite winter. its fine, until something goes wrong, it all relies on him, and there isn't any decent labour about. So really the decision was simple, it was the mental one, that was hard, and only he could make that decision. And he's still got 60 to milk, fading out gradually ! agreed to grow a lot of maize, at a per ton rate. Amassed a fair sum on SFI, plenty of off farm work for him, any spare grass, is 'booked'. and a lot of calves to rear. Then there are 'other' plans, when we finally sort siblings out, so not much to worry about, income wise. [/QUOTE]
