3 PREFACE We are delighted to forward to you a copy of our new look Grazing Sale Catalogue. With all the changes that have happened within the livestock sector of the agricultural industry there has been a reluctance to revert to the grazing sale being a sale by auction as happened prior to However, it is our hope that with the agreement of the owners of the land that we will be able to hold the auction again in Keep your eyes out on our website and the press for any such announcement. The first sale of summer grazing rights was held in the Crown Inn at Hailsham in In that first sale, all the lots were owned by the Weston-Simons family and all the land was in the area immediately surrounding Pevensey. Just over 200 acres was offered for sale in that first auction. Thereafter the amount of grazing available steadily increased each year and summer grazing was incorporated from a much wider geographical area. In 1976, which was the first year that I conducted the auction, just over 800 acres was offered. Over the next few years until 1979 the sale grew in the number of lots and total acreage when approximately 2,000 acres was offered by auction. That 1979 sale included lots in West Sussex, Tunbridge Wells, Heathfield, Rye and Battle. In 1980 the Summer Grazing lots away from Pevensey Marsh started to be difficult to sell by auction. The 12 to 15 acre blocks which had up to that time made substantially more than the larger blocks, were now less easy to sell. The typical dairy farm in the area was struggling financially and taking on extra land for their heifers was becoming a burden. Sales were held every year except in 2001 when Foot and Mouth disease caused the cancellation of the sale. The grazing was let on an informal tender that year much as we do now. In 2005 with the advent of the Single Payment Scheme and with the chaos that ensued from the introduction of that scheme, together with the substantial mis-information or lack of information from government departments plus the fact that people were entering Entry Level Stewardship schemes and Organic Higher Level Stewardship schemes this caused an enormous amount of certainty in everyone s minds as to how the grazing of additional land was to fit in with the Single Payment Scheme. You may all recall that it took over 2 years to sort out the muddle from the introduction of the Single Payment Scheme and during those 2 years, no auction sales were held of summer grazing. This happened also in the West Country and North of England. Consequently a new method of operating these sales was established with which we continue to work today. However, we sincerely hope to see the re-introduction of the auction sale. Will Mathias has joined me at the Mayfield Office from where we administer grazing licenses and other similar arrangements, so please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.
