Will you be putting on your safety clothes and hard hat, and venturing over the border to sell him some grass seed!!

Difficult call if the wind is playing ball a mix of smoke/drums gets the job done.

All I can say is what the agent has told me so far I think the existing tenant tendered to high when he took the farm on and now can't afford it so there in the process of terminating his tenancy. I am farming abroad at the moment so will be looking for someone to be the eyes and ears in the farm when I am away also to do the field work and possibly look after stock till I get there full time next spring tenancy should start end of sept if all goes to plan . I've had several suggestions of contractors please feel free to pm good or bad reports as it's difficult sorting without meeting someone face to face and after reading this website for several months I think members on here can sort wheat from the chaff !! Cheers richard

Sad to think this farmer, existing tenant may well be a member on here, and is having his business discussed

 

[Penmoel]

Too much speculation perhaps???

 

[Grockle]

I purposely haven't mentioned the exact location of the farm or the name of the person and am not going to do so on a public forum but once I have got possession of the property farming is a small world so the news will soon he around cheers Richard

Now the jungle drums will be banging

Telegram - too slow

Telephone - too slow

Tell a woman - everybody knows

Very few farms around Mid Devon that are the acreage you talk about that are all rented... all sounds a bit well.. something not quite right about it tbh.. did you tender for the farm when the current tenant got it??

There is loads of tenanted farms in the mid Devon area that size !
