[QUOTE="Red Fred, post: 9259043, member: 189"] All our estate FBT and grazing tenants were given the boot 5 years ago when they decided to put it all into a stewardship scheme. I lost 100 acres out of 300, the rest either being our own or rented on an aha. Rather cheekily, they realised as termination date was approaching that it required grazing management, so they said I could have it back with restrictions and at double the rent, but I declined the offer as I had already set the stock reduction in motion, and 300 acres is more than enough working on my own at 60. I try to look at it pragmatically though, as I only had it on a yearly basis, but it was still a bit of a shock after 35 years. I guess they never had to rent it to me at all though. Mrs Fred has just yesterday been given a pedigree ewe for our rare breeds flock by one of the breeders who has lost all her grazing (North Dorset) as her employer decided to put it all into sfi and wants the sheep out along with her shelters, etc, so the flock has to go.
