How large and where in the East Midlands?

£0-30 is my budget.

How long is the grazing? Cattle, sheep or both? Nothing over £45 here and that’s for better parks that we can shut for hay if it gets too strong.

Sounds similar to some rented land we have. Some of it is SSSI most of the rest has been changed to Low input grassland which is bugger all fert can’t cut untill July and it’s poor grassland. It was £45/acre before the change we are negotiating it down.

Are their any grass let’s the opposite of this ? They really will be 200 acre as I suspect they are mighty rare .

Yep. Sadly. Almost considering not bothering, finding reasonable prices is getting hard

So the landlord collects the BPS, Nature money and still wants rent !!

Charge him for your livestock ............. he probably needs to graze livestock to get the nature money !

Completely pointless farming it on your own if that is the case. I would rent my ground out if those prices were in this area.
