[QUOTE="bluepower, post: 7714542, member: 1540"] In the main there are very few people within the NT with much understanding of agriculture, therin lies the problem. As you are probably aware we are coming out of an NT farm this autumn which is not going to be relet as a farm again. The house and traditional buildings will probably end up as holiday lets, grain store as a storage unit and the land will go into various wild and wacky schemes and soon revert to scrub, gorse ragwort and the like. We have always tried to farm to improve and feel that we have wasted our time in their eyes. To do nothing is better than to do something is one of their favourite phrases!However I can hold my head up and know that farm is in a much better state than when we took it on. However there is one agent within the NT who is dealing with our outgoing who has a very sound knowledge of agriculture and a great deal of common sense. I will speak to him on this matter, not your specific situation but the general ignorance of their employees and see if something can be done. All this sounds very familiar and seems to be common throughout the country and beggears belief. I for one will be glad to get them out of my hair, they are rapidly losing the plot. We basically decided that we could no longer run a business with them as landlords so made the big decision. As you say people who left them farms and land would be turning in their graves as they are destroying many family farms, lost forever for the nation. [/QUOTE]
