[QUOTE="Av Gorritt, post: 6176178, member: 2303"] I started up in the 50's with a new wife , 12 milk cows , bought in Lanark, rented 80 acres , and a £1,600 loan from my F-in - L . The grant then was 85% on approved jobs , but it was quite easy to get the approval . I certainly remember thinking "Yes , 85% good ! but if you couldn't raise the other 15 % , it wasn't much benefit . You could get fertiliser , liming, and slag on it too , as well as building jobs . It was called "The marginal land scheme " ( Old lad never asked for his money back either !. ) [/QUOTE]
