Empty yards.

I know of a farmer who has had a load of Oak butts and a couple of Ash butts on his land, big old knotty things, they were dead standing or blown down, he has had them skidded a couple of miles roadside and is wanting a lot of money for them off a saw mill👍 they are not fit for anything other than firewood but he thinks there worth thousands. Why? Because someone told him they were!!

Morning,

A while ago tried to buy the land we currently use.

Rent is zero but we must look after the old girls garden which is large and so a cost all of it's own.

Here in Frenchy France it's all complicated because a widow has 50% of the estate and the kids (4) have the rest but can't act on it without EVERY-ONES agreement.

We had negociated a price for agricultural land and everything was in place to start the process when one of her sons got cold feet and decided that it 'could' be building land in the future and so upped the price to that of building land today.

So we went from 2k to 150k overnight!

Even though the local council say that it is unlikely in a generation that it will be ever building land.

So we backed out and a few weeks later found another bigger plot of land with better buildings for 12k and we sign very soon on that one.

Getting back to the original point, yes it is indeed a shame but things like this happen all the time and as you get a year or two under your belt you eventually figure out that there's no point in trying to be intelligent for other people.

That's not a "farmer" that's just a greedy person and they're all over the place.
