Agreements and Tenancies
Weatherall Brown Rural Consultancy can help you set up and manage your rural agreement, either as the landowner/landlord or the tenant/occupier. We can help with all aspects from the original set up to rent advice, rent reviews and end of tenancy matters. We will advise when one type of agreement is better suited than another and ensure you get the agreement that is fair and right for you. We can help you to set up and manage FBTs, licence agreements, contract and share farming agreements to name a few.
Cross Compliance and
Record Keeping
Record keeping is not everybody’s favourite occupation, however the accountability that producers are now held to requires us to be bookkeepers as well as farmers.
We can help you keep and maintain the records that you need to ensure you are meeting the standards required for farm assurance schemes and cross compliance. Working with you we can make sure the process is not the last minute information gather that it can sometimes be and you can accept your annual meeting with your inspector knowing the work is already done.
Access and Rights Over Land
Wayleaves and Easements affect nearly all farms and land, whether it is the right of access a neighbour has over your land or the water main that runs underneath it, it is important to ensure they are managed correctly and effectively.
Most of us can go for decades without being affected by compulsory purchase or compensation, however you never know when you might need a crop loss claim or advice when when a utility, telecoms, energy or private company wants to access your land to install equipment. We can assist you to ensure the level of compensation and reinstatement works are correct, fair and suitable.
Soil Management
Soil and crop management has always been the heartbeat of a farming business however now with the change in rural policy it is becoming more visible. If you need advice on soil condition and soil composition we can help. On farm tests can assess the structure and we can take samples to send off for detailed laboratory analysis. The correct crop rotations and alternative winter catch and cover crops can also add an extra element to your soil to help with organic matter, structure and the ever important worm!
