renting land

[smiles24]

For all of you that rent your own field, can you tell me what you pay and what that gets you?

A friend of mine has 4 acres of unfenced grazing land. It has no water or electric but does have good access.

Its in essex and she does not know what to charge for it.

Thank you

What would be done re the fencing? Obv it is fairly useless without any! Would she be prepared to put some up or would she want someone else to put the fencing up? How about maintenence of the land?

I'd assume she'd want them to fence and maintain, will have to check with her.....

I pay £50 a month for 3 fields which are all fenced off and have water supply and also field shelters etc. The farmer is responsible for the land and will fertilise it and takes all weeds out etc.

abigal, how many acres are your 3 fields?

I pay £100 per month for 5 acres, was fenced when we took it on, but maintenance of fencing and land is our responsibility.
We also have water, and 2 large barns, 1 for shelter and 1 storage.

I pay £30/ acre and then £10/ yr / horse for water

Farmer does fencing (when reminded a million times ! )

But does fertilise the fields and harrow etc if you ask him.
