[QUOTE="Beefsmith, post: 8012052, member: 133822"] I had a local friend ask me last week would I take his 250ac on (land only) and he keeps the yard for himself and how much would I pay. I sat down for a couple of hours and kept coming back to £0/ac for the rent because of the current input cost and fuel price issues, then he keeps the subsidy till it ends to ride out this current storm. Then after that we sit down and sort it out. If I could grow 1st wheat all over it every year then it’s worth 0.5t/ac ‘rent’ I guess but I can’t and all other crops are crap 🤷🏻♂️. Can’t grow osr because it’s had so much the last 30 years and it’s not ‘root’ ground. Grass it down and it’s maybe worth £50/acre for sheep so maybe 50% wheat and 50% short term ley? [/QUOTE]
