[more] Changes to targeting in the HLS The Higher Level Scheme (HLS) is the top tier of the Government’s Environmental Stewardship initiative, administered by Natural England. It is designed to deliver significant environmental benefits in high priority areas and situations, while providing a level of income to the farmer or landowner that is commensurate with those benefits, writes David Morley, of H&H Bowe. [more] Shares sold At the annual meeting, shareholders agreed the proposed final dividend of 13.5 pence to be paid to shareholders on December 7, 2007. Following the meeting an auction of shares took place in ring 1 at Borderway. Almost 1600 shares were sold at an average price of £12.22 with a top price reached of £13.00. Since the auction a number of shares have been traded privately at the auction price average. |

[more] Farms sold Properties sold by H&H Bowe this autumn included Bruntwood, a 282 acre grassland farm suitable for dairy and beef was well received. Guided at £1.2 million it sold well in excess of this price. [more] |
