Grass rent

[ARW]

I was talking to a customer today who was considering sowing it with grass to let out, seemed to think he would get £150 an acre for it! I thort silage grasses would be £80-£90 an acre. I'm in North Yorkshire, what's going rate here an elsewhere?

20 acre field.

Round here---

If it were 50 acres and worth bothering with then you could rent it to me at £30/acre (less if i have to fence and water it)

dairy folk pay £40/acre for a cut of good silage

 

[ARW]

Where the hell are you from with them prices? U can't get arable land round here for any less than £130 an acre

 

[Henery]

Will new tighter RB movement regs have an impact on grass Let's this spring?

You are asking about grass rents and i am telling you my experience ---i only pay what i can make a reasonable profit on

Which regs Specifically?

Grass lets here have gone mad this year (that's Lanarkshire in the country closer to heaven than south of Hadrian's wall ).

£150 an acre with no single payment is the norm

An awful lot of pits will see the back wall this spring, and folk are upping the forage at the expense of grazing, so need extra let grass.

Also severe poaching and flooding, and last autumn failed cultivation means far more spring grass reseeds being done.

I cannot see how buying grazing for this money an acre makes financial sense. I didn't get any grazing lets this year because wouldn't pay this silly money.

Some of this also applies around here, too. I'll let you know how Julie gets on.

Yikes, wish I sold grass seed in Yorkshire, any one in Yorkshire want a quote!

There are some greedy sock farmers but they don't last long---the land is poor , the grass worse and most land is in HLS and has many restrictions....you pay too much and you go under or end up working for nowt
