In this episode of Crofting Matters, Siobhan is joined by Graham Fraser (SAC Lerwick) to discuss an often asked question – how do I start up a croft, smallholding or farm business? Every year the FAS team receive lots of questions about starting up a farming business. It can be tricky to get a croft, but tenancies and purchases do come up so if you are looking for an opportunity, then this will help you understand the process when it happens. Graham and Siobhan talk about setting up an agricultural business with particular emphasis on crofting, and chat through some of the questions they have received through the FAS advice line.
