What do do with 1 acre

[SqueakiestOne]

Hi
I have a one acre field (ex meadow) that isn't very accessible with a combine so I was looking at other options for the field that would be profitable.
I was initially thinking of letting a neighbouring farmer put sheep on it but not sure he'd want to bother with 1 acre or how much it'd be worth to him. Any suggestions on a ball park figure I could expect from grazing, or any other ideas of what to do with it would be appreciated.

Allotments??

Sell it.

You'd be surprised how useful an acre plot could be to a man with livestock. Somewhere to graze his tips, flush a batch of ewes, graze a dodgy cow etc.....

Plant some bricks

Divide up and flog it to the near by residential houses

Pond in middle. Trees around. Divide into quarters with fence so each gets a bit of pond on their bit. Access by foot. Let local cubs / scout use it for campsite a few times a year.

Put one of those ghastly wedding wigwams on it.

Those things are bloody dangerous.

Always end up with posts in the middle of the dance floor. Fine for the short dressed ladies but a danger to pee'd dancing blokes!

put it in with spuds and sell at the door next winter, along with a big hen house with eggs, and rear turkeys' for Xmas

If the venture fails, at least you can have eggs, turkey and mash for sups.

Where abouts are you @SqueakiestOne ??

Rabbit fence it.
Tip heaps of soil.
Add rabbits if there isn't any.
Let rabbits breed.
Harvest rabbits,
sell to local butcher.

Profit.

A wedding maize, let the bride find the groom, can also be doubled up as rabbit empire, but let out to big game hunters in between weddings.
