      Still seems to be the odd pocket of feudalism that somehow didn’t get reformed.

      Last year the cost and rent on farmland were at record highs, good farm land is going at insane prices. But this looks to be hill farms which is not good land. My brother is had to deal with rent for the land he is renting this year.

      Edit: not defending the rent increase BTW. Just giving background on how they are able to justify the increase.

      Also it sounds like there are entitlement from the BISS scheme attached to the land. Part of the reason why my brother swallowed the rent increase.

      I understand that this is bad for the farmers involved, and the fact that the land is owned by an English Duke is an anachronism.

      I am guessing that most of the farming affected is of sheep on the Knockmealdown Mountains. Hill farming is barely viable these days. This might be an opportunity for rewilding.

      The cost of renting agricultural land has shot up across the board in the last couple of years, but this seems very excessive.

      “The farmers tend to land on the Lismore estate, which is owned by the duke, Peregrine Cavendish”

      What in the fuck kind of name is that? Sounds like something you would see on a medieval banquet menu made by a medieval Heston Blumenthal!

      Posh knobhead!!

      Seems they came by the land pretty cheap so maybe they should forfeit it for what they paid, which I imagine is SFA.
