I like my full time job, its 5 days a week and work phone is turned off Friday at 4, not turned back on till 7:30 Monday. Its intense but the pay is good
If my dad wasn't at home doing 6 fays a week, the place would be neglected. I either go back full time and stuggle financially or keep my job and rent out the farm and be financially comfortable and have plenty time for my young family.

It's a no-brainer so. If you have an intention of returning to the farm in the future the best tenant may not be the one with the highest bid. If you are giving a longish term lease then soil sample yourself beforehand and build it into the lease that land must be returned as the tenant got it with a value put on how much it will cost him if he loses an index level on P for example.

You mention two important things, family and fulltime job, look after both of these. Sounds like you can get a good tenant who will maintain/improve the farm so go for it. Maybe father will enjoy the break too! Good luck anyways

Fair dues, not an easy decision to make. Highest bid not always the best, soil sample as Free said.

One word of warning is that a lot of dairyfarms are incorporating. If you are dealing with a limited company you cannot get tax relief on the rental income if it's a long term 5yrs+ lease. Of course if your dad is the owner and his income is the pension it would be ok as he is far from the income threashold.

An incorporated business is oblidged to inform you but that doesn't mean they will, you must ask the question.

Al the best

I have nearly a full year to plan it if that's the route I want to go, but it has been my intention to go back farming in some capacity. In 3 to 5 years. (But time will tell)

Work christmas do tonight. Have the christmas jumper ready and managed to get some poor sod to do all my feeding and mucking out in the morning. Think i'd die if I had to look after 20 horses in the morning. With nothing to do in the morning i'm going to be a right state. If you see someone staggering around shop street in a christmas tree jumper tonight, that'll be me! Only problem is that I get up at half five for work usually and was wide awake this morning so I hope I don't fall asleep at 11.

Jameson a decent drink, are you mad, watery ****e

Give me a Green Spot any day or as its called locally - the G spot
or also a glass of Redbreast to appreciate decent whiskey

Bob all 3 are the same strength at 40% abc. Jameson is a blend if pot still and grain. The other 2 are what's called pure pot still Whiskeys. This gives a more full taste. This was the traditional type of Irish whiskey. It's getting a bit of Renaissance. If u like them look out for one called powers john lane. Lovely whiskey.

There all made from the one company anyway.
