Grass parks.

[had e nuff]

Was told today that some summer grazing on grass parks had made £200 an acre, up 30 on last year. Surely this is stupid and makes farm rents look reasonable.

Stupid.

Not heard any round here yet but sure it will be stronger this year.

It's ridiculous trade. I can't understand it at all.


Land owners are in for a bloody big shock when subs go

[hally]

A lot about £200 around here but I did here of some at £500 over at Wigton but I would take mart crack with a pinch of salt, but all seem up this year not surprisingly. Happy I’m not in that game anymore.

A grass park is usually summer grazing....april-October....will be fenced possibly fertilised

But it's only one fat lamb.

 

[Agri Spec Solicitor]

Our results like for like are +£20 per acre over about 160 acres.
Demand appears to be driven by empty barns and poor grass growth so far. But £5 of the increase already gone due to fertiliser prices.
