    Hi all, this is my first time posting on this site and i was looking for advice
    re surplus quota. I have around 20,000 gallons that i wont fill this year and
    i was wondering what are my options with regards to leasing it. Do i have to go down the co-op route and accept the miserable return or can i do a deal privately with a quota squeezed farmer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    You have to go down the co-op route and accept the miserable returns. Not sure if you can lease out quota with land but other than that its the co-op only

    This is grossly unfair, i have surplus quota that i know i wont fill this year
    and there are plenty of farmers who need it but still i have to take a derisory
    sum for it. Fellas might say i should be filling my quota and that is true but
    as it stands i wont fill it til next year.

    Fill as much as you can profitably and lease the rest in the first round of temp leasing (2c a litre as against 1c for the second round). Sort out what is under your control rather than what isnt
