So, new situation. In order to get as good a farm as possible, we need to convince the bank that we’re a good bet – this isn’t a big commercial farm we’re planning so the banks won’t lend money for it as a going concern. So basically we need to pay off a boring mortgage, and to do this we need to demonstrate some from of revenue. Our company, Diamond Age Solutions Ltd., has been doing fairly well and I’m now joining Suz in working on it full-time. There are a few cross-overs between the geeky things we do for Diamond Age and the farm, and some of these are actually profitable 🙂
So, if things go awesomely there might be a farm at the end of 2012. Slightly past the original concept date, but things may well go better because of the additional planning and integration.
