Hi,
We have a 90 acre farm that is non viable commercially.
My parents use the income they receive from EU payments and REPS schemes to supplement their pension.
The problem is that we have 80 acres of grassland that is surplus to requirements. Nobody will rent this or buy the grass as there simply aren't enough customers out there for it....there are fewer and fewer people farming and people generally are looking to leave the industry.... in the last few years we have managed to sell the grass for a non profit price (sold it in bales having paid for baling) but now it's becoming impossible even to give it away for free... any ideas??
(selling is not an option at the moment)
