Part-Time Farming and Farm SizeBritish agricultural policy is to support farm incomes so that farm businesses above a certain size can provide a reasonable living. Many farms in south-east England above this level are in fact run by part-time farmers with additional sources of income, while some judged to be inadequate to employ one man full-time nevertheless provide the sole livelihood of their occupiers. Full-time farmers often endeavour to improve their income position by buying more land when the opportunity arises. Here they may be in competition with prospective part-time farmers who are attracted by the farmhouse and regard the land as an amenity. This conflict could be resolved by selling the farmhouse with a small plot of land separately from the remaining farm land
