Serious bubble down here There's 10 acres of land close to here going for €60 per acre. It has no maps. I spoke with auctioneer and walked it yesterday and could have done with waders in places. It was too wet to take silage off last year. Decided that the money would be better spent on buying fertilizer for my own land.

I didnt bother taking land close to me that land owner wanted €200 an ac, I undersowed it last year for him as he taught I was making a fortune cropping the land.

There is a serious "land bubble" around here. Almost every land bank up for lease near me is exceeding 300 per acre. The usuak agreement is hakf up front and half the last week of June. Dairy lads are in a pissing contest to see who can expand the fastest. 36 acres just sold for 400, 000. 30 or 31 acres were good land, the rest was hilly rock.
If this continues I'll lease out the farm and live the good life.

Over a 1000 an acre being paid by some potato growers here this year

Yeh spud men often around here cold calling on the owners of tillage land and waving big money in their faces to try and tempt them to rent for the year, most try to avoid it due to the damage it supposedly causes. Even despite this I don't think its helping the case of the tillage/stock farmer renting it, as the owners can now tell them they have been offered XXX from the potato grower, so cough up more rent etc!
