Barley crop comes with prime Tipp tillage farm
The sale of a 265 acre prime tillage farm in Tipperary is attracting widespread interest simply because of the quality of the land and amount of it, and now the bonus of being able to take the crop of spring malting barley thrown in for free if you hustle on with a sale is likely to attract another spurt of interest.
Auctioneer John Stokes of Stokes and Quirke is currently getting over the e2 million mark for this non-residential holding, being sold for a successful local businessman and farmer who has more than 600 acres currently in tillage.
“There have been viewings from all over Ireland, from France and from the UK, and everyone is impressed with the land.
“It’s an ideal buy for anyone who has sold land for development and wants to get into serious farming: it isn’t every day you can stand in a field and not see the end of it,” he says enthusiastically of the holding in one block, with just two dividing hedges.
The land is at Killcommonmore, a short distance from Cahir and close to the town’s mills, and the spring malting barley is contracted to Dairygold Co-op.
Also with the same agent, in Fethard, is a 107 acre tillage farm available in two lots, 56 and 51 acres facing each other across a road. The guide price for this is over e5,000 per acre.
