What Dept are you in?
I farm beef cattle, and also raise milking goats and cerealWhat Dept are you in?
All beef?
Very interesting. Fair play to them.Seems it the french not the language that’s hard work.
If I’d have known back then I’d have been out in a flash,land was very cheap! I’d say it’s a fair bit harder to do now.seem like very nice folk and go getters to boot
took courage and ambition in equal measure to achieve all that
i knew land prices were a good bit lower in France but had no clue they were as low as that ?
Interesting on the land prices alright. 8 wettish acres up the road from me went around 60k lately, mad money. I'm under no illusion the land around me and Indeed our own is nothing special, but land prices are astronomical
Its good to see people not afraid to try new things too
I’d say half the reason there doing the holiday let’s is for a bit of company .We would have gone years ago, only for the overriding feeling of being lonely without family and friends out there.
We still haven't ruled it out as it seems far more possible to get a decent farm out there compared to here. Always keep an eye on what comes up there too.
21 years ago I nearly got a tenant farm in Cheshire,once I’d missed I just got my head down here,it’s an age thing!suppose France being so big , land is always going to be considerably cheaper ? , land in Russia is less than a grand per acre and they have plenty of great land
pretty sure land in much of the USA is also quite cheap ?
id never be tempted to relocate myself , i do like visiting different places but never felt the urge to take on that kind of adventure , probably neither ambitious enough or smart enough

a lot of truth in what potterton wrote, tillage farmer with 200 acres wants 400, the lad with 400 wants 800 and so on , its the same with cows but there,s always a bigger fish out there no matter who you areAgreed on all counts. Gerald Potterton had a bit in the farmers journal this week about tillage farms in Ukraine, vast swathes of isolated land very cheap, Savage scale to the farming
I did a couple of harvests in England when I was in college. The company I work for now has an American presence and I've thoughts about going there for a few years (Chicago).
Its grand to travel and see something different, but this slightly damp corner of roscommon will always be home
What about water costs, and taxes. What part of France are you in.If you work on a, house 90k, b barns, 20/30k apiece and c land 4k ish per hectare you will have a fair priced farm.
Farm next door is up for sale, sheep cereal farm 2houses many barns and 228 hectares. 1.4 million euros
