Arable rent this Yr down or up

[lloyd]

you reckon, after the stress of last harvest re straw and forage I would like a 100 acres of grain crops to reduce my exposure to crazy prices and profiteers , don't really want to grow more than I could use though , got some rather overpriced pasture that doesn't really stack up to

Inputs cheap enough this year straw,corn and fodder.

yes but increases last year destroyed the margins before we we started and set a precedent level for the future , if the grain price rises to a profitable level no one needs to sell the straw . But you cant give something that isn't there for long .

We need legislation to protect farm tenants after all residential tenants have a more equal footing with their landlord.
ATA 1995 needs a rent review formula based on the AHA "productive capacity" rather than the "Market rent" formula.
What is a "Market rent"? purely hypothetical. If an ATA rent review did go to arbitration lawyers on both sides could have field day. I suggest many arbitrators are not qualified for that kind of legal dust up.
The TFA is mostly on board but the NFU is fearful of upsetting the landowners /CLA hence their reluctance to further land taxes such as abolishment of APR, LVC on development land and abolishment of "Roll over relief".

There will never be a return to anything like AHAs. Never.

On another thread someone wrote they had given up a FBT as it didn't stack up as a standalone deal but the rest of the business benefitted - I wish someone could explain the economic method in this thinking re cropping unless of course it was for access or some practical reason like irrigation .
