We're organic dairy and last few years have had some off ground on a grazing agreement, converted it to organic and the landlord claims the payment.
They've just let me know it's now in GS2 and bit by bit what the rules are, highlights;
No cutting til 1st July
No dung spreading until 1st July (unless before 15th march! It's wetish ground so no spring spreading)
No suplimentary feeding.
I don't really want to give it up but can't see I can work to these rules.
Has anyone else got ground on a similar agreement? What do you do with it? Don't quite need that much dry cow hay!!
What sort of rent a acre would be paying?
It's certainly worth less than we have been paying when could do 2 cuts etc.
Thanks
