This forum is near plagued by people looking for land to shoot pigeons, rabbits and air guns on. Yet folk complain about having to control rats and pigeons?
You couldn't make it up. I've have the place virtually patrolled 24/7 by armed folk.

£20 quid a day they can come whever they like. Metal detectors too. It's leisure, not a service.
Sounds fair enough to me. I'd insist they were insured and would only allow a select bunch to be present.

I'd insist on a copy of their insurance, a reference, and would limit number and spread them out. Detectorists would have a maximum area a day. Plenty of temporary grass here now.

With that many sheep waiting to be sheared at 50 a day who cares if it never makes the combine !!!!
£70ha on pigeon control I reckon. And it’s the best investment into the crop. Luckily I have a lots around where my 16 year old quad bike and shooting mad cousins lives so he can earn some cash!
ShhhDo you advertise it on the pigeonshootingforum?
paid for a good family ski holiday last year, hard to believe anyone give this away !
i take photocopy of gun licence and suitable insurance in exchange for a permit and map
You need to cover your own back with your own insurers too!
3rd party liability that most businesses would have covers you I would imagine
most shooters are covered by membership of BASC and CPSA etc

How have I been done over?! I’m taking into account all of the time we spend chasing pigeons in the winter, and the money we spend on rope bangers etc. Time is not free. Maybe I’m one of the few who actually take things like this into account? My true costs are minimal. Farm saved seed, total 180kgs N, kerb, a gramnicide for volunteers, 1 fungicide, glyphosate, pigeon scaring, direct drill, roll with a dose of slug pellets from the rolls.£70 ha on pigeon control you've been done over!
Most people make money out of this .
Looks like your true costs of growing OSR would make
interesting reading .

Because looking after a large osr from pigeons takes a lot of time, some years are worse than others. £70 is absolute max But I would rather err on the side of caution than ignore blatant costs.Simple why are you spending £70 ha on pigeon control?
