LEAVING THE LAND - THE END OF AN ERA

[@ciaranomalley9274]

Great credit to your brother Tom to look out for your neighbour David .. a very christan and kind act 👍🙏🏻

[@b2617]

Christian and kind act? Hmm weird. Christians aren't exactly known for their kindness. How about just a nice human being nice to another human. No need for religion.

Thanks Rich, Hope you can sort a deal with new owners or another farmer gets it. Hope no developments get it.

[@fredharrowven1040]

Good morning Richard, Yes as you say end of a era very sad I know when my grandmother passed it had to be sold my dad worked that bit of land for years very sad, I wish you all the best for the time to come.You take care and stay safe.🐄⭐️👍👌

Hopefully when one door closes Another one opens. Sad day but life continues. Great video. Regards to the weather

[@houseofgill]

I love the fact that areial photos on Rightmove include mowed field with your bales....interesting video.

[@lordofhowell7158]

Pretty big field to loose out on. Hopefully more land comes up for you. Brilliant video 💪🏻 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@bencarter2334]

There used to be loads of places like that coming up for sale round us. It's really rare now and when they do they usually make way more than the asking price.

[@jonwright7394]

End of an era, but one can only really hope that as one door closes (and well done to Tom for helping the chap out) another one opens

[@irvenrathburn9421]

Good video Richard, I hope they let you keep farming the field. Thats life always change.

[@lggal4264]

We have people dumping around here everywhere too. I live in Northern Nevada. We have lots of illegal dumping and illegal camping.

[@michaellynskey7124]

Such a lovely old barn, To many of these types of properties are being demolished, Such a shame from its original use, The same has been happening all over Norfolk for years mainly from families moved up from London or Essex and are destroying the countryside 🇬🇧🇮🇪.

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊

[@trevorsidley7697]

Field next door ended up owned by a Caravan Club member (not that one😹), ran the Parish Council ragged with unauthorised developments and failure to comply to Planning regs and so on. Finally, Do as you Likey, put the field up for Auction. Parish Council (who didn't understand how to bid at auctions) paid well OTT for it. It's now in the care of a Trust. It does mean that my land valuation has now increased, significantly and the neighbours are very keen to be helpful.

That looks like an old army barracks hut,exact same as we had on the farm I worked at as a lad.£450 grand a bargain,I hope some one proper and who will appreciate it buys it

[@byamrcn]

Your brother did a really good thing trying to help that old guy. From years of taking care of uncooperative old people, I can tell you it can be frustrating as all heck. Bravo to him. (p.s. Can I guess what you're working on...two words, both start with M, is that it?)

Beautiful area. Mad money for a site with 4 acres of a field. Looked at the house on Rightmove, hard to believe anybody lived there until this year. I bet Harry bought it as a surprise for Dad.

Good morning sir.. we have recently gone through the same thing.. we rented about 45 acres an old croft.. split into 6 fields.. house was a time capsule Morris sitting in the shed with keys in the ignition. Clock sitting on the mantle piece .. I never remember meeting the original owner and I'm in my mid 40s 😮😊.. stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@RogerNorman-q6x]

As the saying goes ‘The Circle of Life’ but as others have said, it may come back available. We’ve had a couple of fields come back in use around me in very similar circumstances.

[@TheFarmingGiant450]

Unfortunately that’s the trouble these days that people don’t realise farmers don’t own every bit of land that they farm and that rented land is much needed on farms of today as land is so expensive to buy. People don’t respect the land either just like you’ve shown with the fly tipping I hope you can sort something out with the new owners and come to some arrangement to regain the land

[@willmoore3790]

It's funny how none of that chaps relatives didn't help when he was alive but as soon as there's money to be had we had the same thing with a neighbour years ago my mother would make meals for him as he was in poor health and my father would check on him a couple of times a day not that they wanted anything from him we were far better off than him just he was a nice old man anyway my dad found him dead one morning and notified the emergency services then all the relatives came out of the wood work, would have been nice if they had made an effort while he was alive

[@thefunkyfarmer]

i've seen that happen before. In this case he didn't have any relatives apart from a cousin who didn't live locally. He was also a difficult man who shunned help

[@Ralph94967]

[@StephenButler-sm7ex]

That fly tipping was horrendous, I hope you caught them mate 😡

[@farmernige]

That's absolutely disgusting but understandable when the tips and recycling centres won't take anything other than household and them only in a car. I drive a van so can't go unless I get a permit. Last month the fortnightly rubbish didn't empty our bin so 2 weeks ago the lid wouldn't shut today I put the extra bags beside the bin. They left a note saying they won't take them because they aren't in a bin!!! So how do I get rid of the rubbish? Madness.

[@hels2608]

[@andrejgregorc]

Maybe there is a way that they could sell you just the field, maybe they don’t have a use for it. Sad to see something gone that you helpt to keep its value, if there wasn’t for you two this field could be owergrown and worth maybe half the price or even less. But nobody values that, today the only value is to make easy money with selling land like this, probably some relatives that didn’t even knew him.

[@michaellynskey7124]

[@vernystinger]

The fly tippers have probably been paid to get rid of someone's garden waste . Ask if anyone recognises their stuff so you can trace who dumped it maybe ?

[@rsh793]

No one's going to admit it even if they do. Not blaming them as you are pretty much likely to be right as they don't know to check licenses and there's a lot of conmen around who make the most of that. Scummy lazy blighters - and they don't pay the council for dropping it off there which you can do if you pay the fee and dispose of things properly
