There's a guy not too far from here, son of a county council tenant who started out himself on a 28 acre holding who now milks about 600 cows on a rented farm but has also bought at least 300 acres and 5 houses that I can think of and is now going into chickens.Plenty of tenant farmers through the 70's &80's made enough, purely from productive farming/hard work/not drawing much to have the skiing holidays & shooting hobby that most seem to expect today, to buy land and add on. Once you own land, and you've paid for a chunk of it, it becomes easier to borrow to expand more.
I know, we were one. My father slogged his guts out on a rented farm, milking 330 cows by the late 70's (when that was a rarity). One of the first to put a herringbone parlour in, so that he could milk more. One of the first to put OOPF's in, so he could feed them better.
In the mid-80's we bought a nearby 129ac. In the early 90's we bought a couple more sizeable chunks on overdraft, and paid it off within a year or so. All that was done from farming income only.
I'm not sure it's possible for a tenant farmer to achieve the same today though.
I seriously doubt I could!! Unless there going to give me a 30yr mortgage on said fendt!!You could own a Fendt tomorrow with a 3 grand deposit and a direct debit mandate.
I will stick with my old but well maintained fleet. It's the implements on the back that earn the money.

They have higher cost production models and the USED to have a much higher price. not a good mix.
