The Farmers' Union of Wales has reacted angrily to the Welsh Assembly Government’s decision to reject a way of distributing an emergency EU fund for dairy farmers that would have favoured Wales' smaller producers. Two distribution options were considered by the Assembly: Option 1: a payment of 0.2 pence per litre (ppl) of production during the 12-month period of greatest market disturbance (1 October 2008 to 30 September 2009) to each dairy farmer and Option 2: a two-tier payment comprising a payment of 0.5ppl on the first 100,000 litres of production plus an estimated payment of 0.15ppl on production over 100,000 litres during the specified period. |

 One of Britain's most famous gardens, Leonardslee in West Sussex, has been sold for close to the £5m asking price, according to the Daily Telegraph. The 225-acre estate, known for rhododendrons, azaleas and wallabies, has gone to an unnamed Eastern European businessman, who intends to shut the gardens to the public. |

Why is there so little property for sale? "At this time of year there is traditionally talk of lack of stock," says Michael Fiddes, who heads the National Estate Agency Department of property agents, Strutt & Parker. "There are other factors to consider, too, such as this being an election year. A lot of potential vendors are sitting on their hands. People are waiting until the spring market, which has become more and more important over recent years. If there is still a shortage in April and May, that will be more significant." |
