[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 5728662, member: 818"] Seriously? You're fronting for £100m+ of investment funds and you're asking basic questions about renting farmland in the UK on a public forum? I hope your investors know what they're getting into :rolleyes:. If you're for real, go and speak to some of the rural land agents in your area, they should be able to point you in the direction of people looking to lease land out. Apart from the big national chains like Savills and Strutt Parker, there are more regional agents like Greenslade Taylor Hunt in the West Country, and even smaller local firms. If you're going to rent land from landowners you're going to need to prove your bona fides to a land agent before landowners will give you the time of day. Incidentally growing hemp in the UK has been attempted by quite a few UK farmers over the last few decades and their experience has not been that positive. There's little market for the product for starters, but more importantly the UK climate is not conducive to growing it, or rather it grows very well, but getting it harvested in good condition is a very hit and miss process, due to the nature of the weather in the average UK autumn. Its all very well having acres of the stuff growing like billy-o if you can't ever get it baled and into a shed to sell. A crop is only worth any money when its harvested, not left rotting in a field. [/QUOTE]
