Agricultural land rent. How much per acre?

[timberbear]

Just had a letter from my local authority about renting more land under a farm business tenancy, as an existing tenant we get offered land before its put out to non tenants.In total I've been offered 36 acres which is under a cropping tenancy, trees are crops! Thinking of harvesting hay whilst growing sacrificial crops for birds etc. it's been a long time since I tendered for land so does any one know the going rate. I've researched it a bit and it looks like £80 an acre in my neck of the woods.

I know Nurseries that grow field grown bare root stocks get stung up to £500 an acre, the reasoning is that the harvest takes place in winter damaging the soil. Sugar beet and other farm crops??????!!!!!

 

So watch out that you don't get an increase later.

So cropping being arable, would be a bit more. It's all the land at the top of my lane. If I could have it for thirty years I'd fill it with sycamore and beech!

You do if you were allocated entitlements back in 2005! Failing that, you can BUY entitlements at a cost of more than the first years SFP! I dont understand how this system is fair! How can someone who was farming in 2005 be granted subsidy entitlement, then trade it for profit?!

 

Crazy world we live in!
