    He can lease you land.

    Get a proper lease drawn up, put a proper valuation on it, but there is some line you can put in the lease that's states "if demanded" or similar... it's some legal way of getting around the lease not being paid, and so affecting pension payments...

    Was in the same position as you some years ago, and that's what I was told to do.

    Check it out with a solicitor who knows about leases, just in case it's changed in the meantime, and also to get the correct wording...

    Oh, for me, there was a lease done, and the herd number and entitlements were transferred to me. I guess that made it easier... not sure how twould work if your father was to lease some land to you and still keep some so two herd numbers in the same yard... not sure how the dept would be with that...

    Best o luck.
