[QUOTE="Frank-the-Wool, post: 7714343, member: 699"] Who in the hierarchy of the NT is responsible for the farms and the overall policies? I have a large NT farm that adjoins me and the tenant has more or less stopped farming the land and does no maintenance at all. I have been in contact with the Agent who is completely ineffective. All of the boundary fences and gates have fallen into disrepair and those that adjoin me I have been replacing and asked for a 50% share of the costs from the NT, who say the tenant is responsible. He says he is giving up the tenancy so won't pay!! He collects all the payments as well as a large CS scheme. I have taken over a large area of the land with the tenants agreement and have run cattle on it and at the same time topped and sprayed large areas of the land which is full of thistles and not been properly grazed for some years. I informed the Agent I was doing this even though I presume the tenant should not be sub letting!! The NT want to take back all the buildings and convert to units, however this leaves the farms with nothing, not even handling pens for sheep or cattle. All of the gates except for a couple that I have replaced are knackered and none of the internal gates or ditches have been maintained for 50 years. The farms (several hundred acres) used to be immaculate and the owners who gave it to the NT must be turning in their graves. If anyone knows who in the NT is responsible for the farms I would dearly like to have a chat with them!! [/QUOTE]
