Does he have any livestock on these farms or are they pure arable. I think his profit to sub ratio is very interesting,looks as if he would be making a 2 million pound loss without sub.
I’m sure that is the plan ,only time will tell if they are ever profitable without sub.He hasn't really made a loss though has he!
He's spent a fortune on improving the assets he's acquired
so going forward they will be profitable without subsidy.
One thing Top Tip i doubt we'll hear the hammer coming down
to Beeswax farming at too many sheep sales!
I can see it now.
Beeswax farming buys pedigree texel ram for £2000. 7 days later Beeswax farming sells said ram to Beeswax livestock for £1,000,001. How’s that for a record...
Yes and pro brexitPersonally - I think it's really positive that a British businessman wants to invest in British agriculture
Far better than him putting all his money off shore, or foreign money buying up British land . . .
No but going that much higher would certainly pi$$ some breeders offThat doesn't go on in farming circles at the moment does it
He dont like baling straw
Dont put your foot on my carrot patch you may compact it sort
A direct driller is he?He dont like baling straw

How is his Farming losses treated we wonder ?Just a thought though.
Reportedly made his first farming profit £747k. but Hoovers up 2.8 million subsidy ( did Ya get the Pun ?). He has 2x anaerobic digesters which brought in massive profit
I reckon the farm is huge loss making but he is running a commercial business , not a farm
Lesson for us all

It was well deserved after the way the british aristocracy squandered the lives of millions of squaddies, ordering them over the top in pointless attacks to gain a few yards.Taxed for given your life to the country that's disgusting surely there should be some discretion in those circumstances I hope today's war hero's don't get penilised in the same way
No one should be allowed to buy or own that much. it couldnt happen in france or any other country.Well, at least he is buying land at market value, spending money which he made through his
inventions. He hasn't "aqquired" the land through being best mate with a Norman conqueror, which
is how a large proportion of feudal estates came to be owned.
