[QUOTE="soilbug, post: 6401012, member: 3925"] I agree, Som Member. But the backlash is fbt's allow tenants to walk away after milking the land right out and the nextguy has a hard time turning it round. But fbt's are a bit better than the grazing agreements and the one year licences we had before. We have to be careful that our business wouldn't collapse if the landlord doesn't renew at the next break clause date. The very high tender allows youngsters to work three times harder than me to try to get off the ground, but also encourages them to go bust with their overblown enthusiasm - tough on young couples. It is less the landlords than the landlords' agents - who rack everything up to improve their commission, and neglect repairs in order to maintain the cash taken out the farm. My old neighbour has shocking barn rooves - and he is on a Crown Estate farm - but that is the Treasury maximising their take; the royal family have no influence it seems. If the barn falls down it won't need painting or repairing and the rent stays the same! The only guy enjoying collecting fbt's is the large farmer spreading the hp charges of his big tractor over more acreages. Sadly, there are better ways to earn a living nowadays. It was the farmer organisations which traded away long term tenancies for the chance to grab more short term acreages without protective clauses - both sides are free to agree anything in a fbt agreement, and the tenant usually has to if he needs the land.
