which industry of farming do you advise to get in?

[Courier]

Anything, provided you can get in a big enough way without borrowing any money at all and you sell it all retail.....

Speaking of the 1990’s , some dairy farmers will be getting no more for their milk now than they were then.☹

27ppl was the standard rate in the late '90's before folk started to take "the extra penny !" which then let the processors carve up the market for their own benefit.

Biostimulants.

Direct drilling.

Anything involving mychorizzial bacteria.

The trouble with farming is you can only sell food items once to one person.

Once it's consumed its gone.

Where as a TV show or record you can it to multiple people.

Swat up on the ELMS scheme and become part of it . Like it or not it’s coming and will be about for a good few years.

Personally I just do something that I enjoy I will never be a millionaire but I have a smile on my face and own my home and a few acres with my family

Move to Wales and get in on the hanger-on industry. It's not even telling people how to do their job it's just being there and convincing Welsh Government you are needed.

Pick what you like best as if you like it you like it and if you lucky enough to make a fortune out of it bonous if not you like it so no matter .

 

[shearerlad]

Nothing pays as well as a farm full of houses

It’s a pity you can only get one crop of them though.
A simple camp site can be a good earner. Small field, toilet block and a big bin

Buy some more land for your next crop

 

[Humble Village Farmer]

Something you like doing and sell direct

 

[traineefarmer]

Sell vacuum cleaners.

Come up with an ecologically nurturing system for whatever you do. I foresee a time soon when the sale of food products from the farm will be under 25% of receipts:

Carbon offsets
PES payments from water companies
Biodiversity offsets
Access payments
Research grants
ELMs
NFM flood reduction payments

If you are a people person, then farming people pays better than farming food.

that’s where people miss the point, farming isn’t all about food

personally, fibre production for clothes / fashion is one of my more profitable enterprises

 

[Hooby Farmer]

Granny farming

Dad did everything in the early 60ts . Pigs Poultry Potatoes Broilers among other things. He moved to Wales and left it all behind bar dairy, said the rest was a waste of time

when I was in college, we set up in teams and had a farm management game on a computer, I remember we were upset because the programme would not allow us to use the buildings to store caravans!

You can still only sell that product once.
