Free Grazing or Pasture for Making Hay in Hampshire

We have approx 8 acres of old pasture for someone to graze sheep or to make hay.

It's a bit dear for the chaps on here

Hope it is fenced and has water!
Even better if someone checks them every day.

Realistically unless there is someone who wants it next door then 8 acres of old pasture is not very attractive.

It could be ideal for someone with a smaller business, or just starting out.

@vjwooldridge credit to you for coming to the forum and offering your land.

Also try any Hampshire local farming Facebook groups, or contact your local or county young farmers club.

Someone will be delighted to graze it for you.

Only ideal if they are close by.
The cost of transporting livestock, driving back and to the land, putting up fencing and supplying water very quickly mounts up in costs.

Realistically running a vehicle is nearer 50p a mile these days with insurance costs, add on your own time then these small parcels of land can become a cost rather than a benefit to a young farmer!!

We are near Odiham which is north Hampshire

Surprised it hasn't been snapped up. Has it got water, fencing, vehicle access etc ?
We lived near there many years ago and land prices were silly even then.
