Please keep the farm. It's invaluable for students to see a real working farm rather than just theoretical studies.

I am not convinced about the sale. Is this really a sensible thing to do ?

This is vital for students to learn and progress their farming careers, as well as keeping farming going to make our country have a sustainable source of food.

Farming is the basis of food production not processors or supermarkets.

I chose this faculty for my son also for the possibility of putting the teachings into practice and being in contact with the agricultural and productive world. Sell the farm would be a great loss.

I feel that the sale of this holding is a grave mistake. The sale of this shows a complete failure of the trustees of the university to cater properly to the needs of students who attend the university now and in the future.

You simply cannot have a Agricultural University with no farm.

The farm should be an integral part of the institution, not to mention the wider community.

This is very shortsighted and a valuable resource that should be kept so the future of farming has hands on experience not just boarded technologyy.

The RAU is an agricultural college thus needs a practical farm for teaching/demos which sadly can't be found in books - too much theory!

As an ex student of the seventies, I can remember the college farm visits with Messrs Wiseman, Barling, Landers etc, being a major part of the Gin And Tonic course.

It is a slippery slope when a educational establishment which should be a centre of excellence strips asserts. What message does this send to farmers of the future.

Don’t sell it , it won’t spread a good light on the future of British farming .
