Our family farm rescue Ch5

[JP1]

We have a couple of sites near us, I doubt either has planning. Both disappear at the end of the season, so I guess they do it on a temporary basis. One looks well laid out and I would happily go there, the other. Is a miserable s*****le with a boundary fence made of pallets and plywood

Trying to work out which is which

one is up a lane few people go down, unless they have a reason to go that way, I won't say more in case the proud owner is reading this

farm has been in family for 5 generations, why is it not making money, no rent , land looks reasonable ,good size,

Why is there only 400 ewes and 40 cows on 330 acres?

Maybe because it’s not in the arable country that you call home? They get some good views up there…

Is this the normal stocking rates on these types of farms?

Initially I thought he had just made bad decisions and wondered how on Earth a small farm could lose £100,000 in a year? (Unless I heard that wrong)

But I was too quick to judge and ended up really hoping they have turned a corner. Good luck and happiness to them if they ever look on here.

Seemed nice people I wish them luck.
