More googling finds agricultural land going for £10,000 per acre,


Acre or hectare? I thought agri land was sold by the hectare these
days and a hectare is nearly 2 1/2 acres. I get the impression from
"Farming Today" that 10k/hectare would be the top price for top
quality farmland not some tiny random bit of ground with housing
around it.


My OH reckons decent agri land around here (S Norfolk) has been making
between £8,000 and £10,000 an acre recently. I quizzed him about
acres/hectares and he's adamant he means acres.
