no meter readings, and wont be turning it over to insurance. Turns out he called the agent yesterday afternoon, when he questioned the agents figures the agent started stuttering, coughed and then asked him what he felt was fair! Just trying it on as you say. Thing is, agents, whilst massaging the figures, should still have to work with in practical allowances. If you can't crop 2 acres for 2017, then the loss is the "profit" that land would give you, not 4t x £130.....unless you can farm for free.

At the end of the day this will come down to a couple of hundred quid...pathetic.
As you say pathetic. No doubt soured relations between the 2 parties and no winners. Hope it works out well for your friend
