Look like business Partnership between different companies is it?The main issue is the company owning the solar are not he same as the main contractor - these people used a company and they did everything on the cheap. Fencing not completed to our standards, dreadfully dug drainage ditches, Didnt agree access coded gate. Gates between fields not installed. Reinstatement not great. Hedgeplanting poor and not maintained (it is being actioned now). Rubbish and plastic left in ground.
One of the issues is the size of the field and too big for a flock of sheep - obv you cant split them. Gathering sheep is not easy a lot of banging heads! Maintaining the grounds is also not easy and the grass isnt the best - it needs a fresh lay in some.
Its a bit of a change in lifestyle to have contractors turning up - things like access when youve just blocked off the yard when managing the cows. There are advantages of having people around as in stock control (they usually report a sick sheep) plus the advantage of security.
Its a fact that we did chose rightly, the option came about and there was no other options available, this financially is a winner as no inputs. It does take out options of fields though and rotation is much more difficult. Def dont regret it.
Nothing seem straight forward is it??
