[QUOTE="Ffermer Bach, post: 7605621, member: 51054"] One of the challenges I would face as a small scale livestock farmer (apart from the need to change machinery, find a combine or contractor and build a grain bin) is the fact that my ground is stony, needs draining, has 64"+ of rain a year, and is quite high up (650 to 1050' above sea level). Maybe the fact that the Wet West of Britain has stock/dairy farms in the uplands is because it grows good grass and is not suitable for crops. I would be biting your hand off if you were to offer me £400/acre to grow potatoes here, but the fact no one is, could be because 65% of the land in the UK is only suitable for growing grass!
