Arable land for £2750 per hectare

[curlietailz]

Just reading Farmers Guardian dated 20/07/2018 and on page 20 I see an article by Alex Black talking about farm sales and prices etc...... It says "The price paid for arable land in England over the past six months ranged from £2750 to £6000 per hectare" ( see picture)

Wow
I sure didn't realise things were so bad. !!!!!!

Interestingly I bought this today in a local "corner" shop thinking it was the latest version.... I was a bit confused as one of the main stories was about the OSR harvest....... I only checked the date when I made this post..... Ha ha. Been sat on that shelf for 2 months waiting for a punter to buy it. Lol
Only bought it because it had another mag about John Deere 7810 and we have one of those .

That must be a misprint, you pay more per acre around here.

Can’t possibly be right, is that a reprint from about 15 years ago?

120 acres not far from here just sold for £20,000 an acre!

Pipe down with your positive land price talk.

Everyone knows it's dropping like a stone.

TBH I think he's dropped the 1 off the front of those figures

Did it have any investment prospects other than agricultural?

Those figure are just the agents commision

probably got acres & hectares confused I think.

Are you sure you didn't buy the corner shop and this
was left in it from the early 90s

Even then the figures don't sound high enough.

They’re asking £275000 for 19acres of lowlying very wet permanent pasture just down the road from me. Oh but it has got a pond (ie very wet) and planning for an agricultural barn (permitted development)
