[QUOTE="flowerpot, post: 7719122, member: 142783"] Fields come up for sale every so often and usually have an estimated price, if not published then ask the agent. I think you need to decide on your geographical area, however wide, then get familiar with the land agents who sell farms and land and keep an eye on what comes up and what it sells for. That is the beauty of a public auction, you can see how much it makes on the day. If you can narrow it down a bit more you might even go and have a chat with them, and ask what you might get for your £40,000 + (remember stamp duty) although they work for the seller so obviously want to obtain the highest price possible. That might be enough to give you sufficient information about the local land market and, bravely, approaching a farmer to see if they might want to sell something - but be warned, the reply my OH always gives is "I buy land, never sell it." But you never know. Depending on where you are, I wouldn't expect much from renting out the grazing, for a small area simply keeping the hedges cut and the fences in order would be usual and if you did get some rent treat that as a bonus.
