I want to approach farms neighbouring my house in North Wicklow to rent some grass for horses year round. Its not grass livery (where I need them checked, turned out etc) - I will do everything, maintain fencing etc, I just the grazing. The neighbours are part time farmers/contractors with some sheep in the fields but not farming full time. Has anyone an idea of rates for grass rental for a year? Is this the same as conacre?
