[QUOTE="DRC, post: 7573436, member: 334"] I don't see how this will work in most instances. Owner occupier retires and farm goes on the market for a few million, who will have the funds to buy it, most likely another established farmer, not a young new entrant . Or if a tenant farmer like me retires, I can guarantee our farm will be put to the one big tenant they want to farm the whole estate, or if not, one of the big AD/ potato farms will snap it up. Again I don’t see a young entrant getting a look in. A much better way would be incentivising some sort of share farming agreement to allow a young person to build up capital, whilst taking the physical work away from the older farmer. As for new methods, why should someone like myself get rid of a tried and trusted method like ploughing, when all the equipment is bought and paid for, rather than invest thousands in a super duper no till drill.
