land agents

With huge apologies to all farmers for the massively naive nature of this post, my wife and I are exploring buying (and farming) a livestock farm. I have the financial resources but no experience and I don't know any farmers. Any suggestions of where to go to get experience or any good courses...

I received an email the other day promoting Andersons Seminars as there's now an online one apparently. Has anyone on here attended these Seminars in the past? If so, what are your thoughts on their value for money? https://theandersonscentre.co.uk/shop/andersons-2024-seminar-online-version/

I'm doing a job which involves putting nuts on several vertical bolts holding a small plate in place. There is only about 1cm gap under the end of the bolt to get the nut on, do up fingertight and then get a ratchet spanner on it. I'm using a Teng ratchet spanner, I find Teng stuff good normally...

Above is a direct quote of the new mammals tv program on BBC One. David Attenbourgh. I know it’s BBC and probably not his thoughts directly…. But not backed up with any statistics or sources. And don’t people want to eat? im a mixed farmer and I know where more water is needed, its not my...

SFI unravelling as the policy makers realise food might be in short supply and as of yesterday (25th March) not taking land out of food production is suddenly important to the government. Is it important to the population as a whole to have home grown food production subsidised? What should SFI...

Hello there! I am just reading through a new grasskeep agreement for a piece of ground we've had for several years. The landowner has gone away from the land agents and is doing the agreement himself. He's used a basic agreement but has added the price will increase by the cpi inflation for the...

We are looking to expand our current enterprise, which we are farming around 280 ewes on rented/short term grazing lets. we have been trying top find more ground but its very hard to find and when you can find it, the ground is either too far away or too expensive and we seem to be hitting a...

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/hedgerow-regulations-to-be-brought-into-law-to-protect-wildlife Cross compliance ended 31st December. Good job it's been a wet winter. 🤬 So it appears we lose income on let's say half a metre (bit more probably) on the perimeter of every field to stay legal...

Hello Everyone, To keep this simple and vague and please forgive me for not divulging more. AHA land needed for development. Deal on heads of terms agreed.By our acting agent with landlord. Nearly 12 months of promised ‘getting the deal done’ and a new tenancy to successor and compensation...

Recently bought some tenanted land. On visiting it today, I found this ewe clamped over a lamb. She had no water. There was no-one on site. This looks completely unacceptable. Who better to ask than TFF.

Chatting with my agronomist this morning and he was telling me how some FBT agreements, down in more arable areas, had clauses in them requiring the land to be soil tested at the beginning and end of the term with a full spectrum analysis, with a charge to put right any degradation. I've heard...

Looking at a big trip to NZ. Going to be having one eye on moving there. Is there any way to have inland revenue accept some of expense as a business research trip? Do we just have to call it holiday? Can book farm viewings with estate agents etc. I'll probably see a lot of old Ford tractors...

There appears to be very little land on sale in the North East. I'm really struggling to find something. I'm not sure if I'm looking at the right places? Ideally I'd like from 6-15 acres. It would be for 6 horses. Any advice would be appreciated. Or if anyone is selling I'm a cash buyer 😀

Read this leader in today’s Times … especially the sentence I have highlighted Aren’t you delighted that not only has the cost of living taken money out of ordinary folks pockets and put it in to ours but we are the source of all Britain’s pollution woes (or so you’d think reading this guff)...
