I had a lease on a farm in 2007 when the owner died all his other land was sold as there was no legal recognised lease on them. i offered them the chance to buy my lease out idiots refused land dropped from 21k acre to 5k when it was sold in 2011
I'm guessing you bought it then. You hardly passed up that opportunity.
A lot of longterm leases ( over 5 years) have rental reviews at the 5 and 10 year mark. It would then depend on the review conditions, mostly it's market rent related. If that the condition it would be very hard to continue a lease in the present market if the owner wanted you out.
Another factor is if the lease was started ten years ago how the farm payments were dealt with within the lease. As long as you do not have too much tied up in infrastructure it's not too bad. However if you have development work carried out there because of a long term strategy and verbal understanding such as an option to buy you could be walking away with a serious loss.
i ve been involved in 2 leases where the owner has passed.my view is the agreement is with the the deceased person and its up to the new owners to see what they want to do.often probate and stuff means you get a couple of years anyway.i ll just swing it the other way if you were leasing land and you kick the bucket would the owners be doing the right thing if they expected you to honour lease out even though who ever comes after may not be farming.
The law is if you want to see out your lease then your entitled to do so .... if you're the Tennant and you break the lease and leave your entitled to. Once you've paid up to date your not legally on the hook for anything....no morals and the right thing to do etc come after that.
I get that but if you're in the business of leasing land you ve always got to think about the next block that's for lease.if I was letting land out and I d a choice between someone who I can talk to and a guy who knows the law, there s only one winner.leasing land is the same as a shop owner,the customer is always right even if they are not
anyone know if you can get a chute off a meal bin the will swivel from side to side to fill the bucket of the tractor? trying to get away from this shovelling craic need the full of the bucket for the diet feeder. i wouldnt mind getting a bigger bin maybe this year.
Haven’t seen one but I'd imagine it could be done quite easily. Think of the setup on a readymix lorry.
Yes I agree with you. It's usually better to talk things through with the new owners etc i was just coming from a purely legal side of things.👍
could you stick an old piece of a 6 inch slurry hose on it with a chain hold ing the end and just shake it back and forth
Get an overhead auger and you'll never look back
the bin i have now is probably abit low. might find something more flexible
im gonna try poverty spec first!
A deeper bucket like a grain bucket would hold a lot before needing to shovel to the corners.
No i didt buy it was only 45 acres i had bigger ambitions and it was too small for me. its worth some money now
Are the journal actively in the departments pocket re tb, a shock horror headline of 2,500 cattle with tb lesions in 2023 that had passed a tb test, out of the circa 1.8 million slaughtered our in % terms .135 % , meanwhile the 1,103 badgers tested returned a positive rate of 30%, but they are at pains to stress that's only a subset of badgers in hotspot areas and not reflective of the badger population...
Business is business. The generation taking over are not farmers,if they were they would bee farming it. Of you got to break a lease on these guys, they will probably enforce the lease terms of they can. If you are 3-5 years into a 15 year lease I would not be allowing them to break it. A tenant may have cows bought to stock it, reseeding done or fertility corrected.
Big danger with leases is rent reviews on longer term ones for tenants. This is where someone can find a way to get rid of you if they want to.
It's the same with a leasor if a tenant signs a lease then unless it's exceptional reasons like serious health issues then allowing them to exit the lease us appropriate. However if the sums are not adding up for him tough.
If I go into an auction and overbid I still have to pay up or pay to exit the contract.
I asked their dairy journalist for picture boards from Johnstown Castle that they took photos of, positively showing dairy farms soil sequestration over any emissions from the cows. Science recorded. They themselves took down the posts from their social media profile history. They deleted them. They never responded to my request if they had them to send them on privately to me. I was going to send them to a US based meat or cow regenerative group.
I see the same journalist was wined and dined in the US at a Bayer soil carbon tourist exhibition centre.
And now in the dealer section of today's journal they are making fun of the growing sales of non pastuerised milk in the US. Saying it's lefty loonies and militant right wingers are buying and it's only America. Article penned like they are calling people in America quare hawks. And the same journal praising sales of irish butter in America from their tillage journalist.
Quare hawks in the journal themselves.
The whole milk and butter thing in the US seems to be going over the heads of authors in the journal. That is people are buying so over plant based as to reduce chemical intake from foods as much as possible like what our ancestors ate or as close to and people associate all human modern isms now with what is put into the sprayer on the back of the tractor.
I see a prominent farmer on tiktok has really got under the skin of a certain southern co op that I also supply threat with cross compliance inspection. Real bully's that lot as I well know. Too busy moving a store 5 yards across the way and charging extortionate prices for feed hopefully something will be done about the waste being spent hmmmmmmmmm.
I only buy it now to see what Official Ireland has to say. If you want to see what way Teagasc or the Dept are spinning a certain story then it’s useful.
Discussions on here are much more relevant for farmers to see what’s happening and the impact felt in the real world.
I see another prominent farmer to the same coop has penned an article in the farming independent calling for unfettered loyalty to the coop.
How's your parlour coming along?
Finished pouring the concrete and the stall work is in place now. Shed extension for the bulk tank and pump room is also up but I’m trying to sort roofing sheets at the moment. I’ll have a YouTube video on the latest work up this evening.
Jim Kelly Kilrush clare would be your best bet, they deliver to your yard aswell
I'd definitely put in the mangers, cows don't move. You won't regret, we had straight through, baling straight, diagonal concrete. Mangers simple and easy to move
who was that can I ask?
An interesting comment in that article regarding the Kerry buyout.
"While I hope the venture is a success for the co-op shareholders, I have grave concerns that a deal that seems so sweet did not attract any outside interest from some of the big European processors."
Put in straight trough he will have all heifers so you can have them tighter to stop kicking xtra heifer can be added to keep them tight cant be done with mangers
Sounds to be still a bit tetchy over the Bovaer onslaught a few weeks back.
here’s a ready made setup up for lease. New entrant into milking in 2020. My wellies last longer.
