Renting a yard.

Recommended Posts

I'm looking at approaching some local farmers to rent a piece of a field or yard to store logs, wood chip and burn the odd bit of unchippable waste.

 

I don't want to store machinery there so just looking for the above.

 

The question is i don't know how much I should be looking at offering to pay, at the moment I'm still building my business so starting with small quantities of chip, logs etc but steadily getting busier.

 

Just hoping that some of you guys can help and point me in the right direction.

i'd shy away from getting into any deals with farmers personally. i know a lot of people do work in exchange for land, however in my experience, one party always ends up feeling done slightly b the other, also the work requests seem top always come at inconvenient times....sorry i know that doesnt address your original question but is something to keep in mind

I know what you mean by farmers being funny, they all seem to plead poverty but most of them around hear drive around in range rovers.

 

Even worse tend to be the livery yards!

 

Been burnt before so this time I want to pay for the yard and then if they want any work done i can give then a fair quote and then we both know where we stand.

offer cash or half and half....most seem to be glad to help you out if they are gonna get some beer money other wise its just more tax on them..steer clear if they seem the sought who lost us the empire type.

council small holdings would be your best bet as they genuinly dont make the money of the larger land owners and tend to be more down to earth people
