And the worst?

[willfarmbiz]

So, my recent thread was asking everyone about the best form of Rural Diversification - but it would also be quite interesting to hear the worst too! Anyone have any horror stories or unsuccessful projects they wish to share? It might help others avoid wasting their time/money/effort in the wrong place at least!!

According to dailypost.co.uk Welsh Farmers aren't doing too well in their diversification:

"Overall, around 3,100 farm in Wales were engaged in diversification activities during 2013-14, generating a collective income of £15."

Hmm
