[QUOTE="agricrop, post: 312191, member: 4960"] Hello, today I have been approached by a company wanting an area my land plus land of neighbouring farms to install a solar farm. From what I gather I'm among the 8% of land in my area suitable for solar farming. Figures from £500, £750 per acre rental seem to have been suggested today. To me this doesn't seem a lot of money to loose 25% ish of my irrigatable arable land for 25 years given I need a 1 in 5 minimum rotation for my spuds. My business is relatively small however stable and profitable and I've got many years of farming ahead of me. Am I mad to dismiss so quickly? Or am I missing something? Would I not be better building my own solar farm on a slightly smaller scale? Anyone else been in this situation? Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
