Price 2.5 acres for letting

    looking for ball park price per acre, you could describe as rough grazing, hasnt been reseeded for over 20 years, good crop off it every year, approx 25 round bales haylage( I think) for each of the two cuts.
    I have been getting €280 total the past 3 years for the lot,

    I dont want livestock there as the fencing is poor and live on a main road, there is no problem with gaining access with machinery. Few people looking for it for horses but don't want that risk either.

    Nothing done to it yet this year but nice growth there now.
    what would my best option be? should I pay someone to fertilize it, cut and bale it , then sell the bales? or just let it to someone, is it worth more than €280 total for 2.5 acres, especially with the winter just gone.

    Any advice welcome, dont want to go down the road of ploughing and picking stones, or potatoes either as I am aware of the rodents after the potatoes

    280 is really the max its worth. There would be more twisting and turning and time wasted at silage at 2.5 acres than anything

    You would want to come to Donegal to see real twisting and turning at silage,

    Tbh if someone is giving 280 for two cuts off it id continue with that if i were you. I wouldn't give that much for it.
