Good to hear @NFUtweets President @ProagriLtd at today's well attended @NFUWorcs AGM outlining some of the issues and what is being done, plus responding to some interesting questions & thoughts from the floor. Unfortunately I had to leave before @emmahamer2's report

Labour’s vindictive Family Farm Tax and Family Business Tax must be scrapped. The consequences of not doing so are unthinkable.

Thankyou to Bromsgrove MP @BradleyThomasUK and @_RobbieMoore for getting out on farm today for the @NFUtweets Bromsgrove AGM. We did put you through your paces😆 but good to get cast iron commitment that you will reverse the #Familyfarmtax should you get elected.

(2/3) Here, Dr Summers discussed the stark reality facing family farms - that they are 'disproportionately likely' to be impacted by the changes versus estates with a small amount of agricultural assets.

📻: NFU was across the media yesterday talking crime + training for police call handlers in Shrops, Herefs & Worcs to help improve their understanding when farmers report issues. Thanks @WestMerciaPCC + @WMerciaPolice Here's @NFUShrops chair Kate Mayne on @BBCShropshire

Thankyou!

All this talk of cattle dying from eating Hemlock has got me worried. Botanists- what is this plant? Sharply toothed leaves- not feathery. Pinkish red stems and petioles, smooth not hairy. Angelica? #wildflowerhour

Spring beans yet to cut, and our sugar beet & potatoes are harvested in autumn, but the rest is finished…in July 🤦‍♂️ Toting up the results- I’d have been disappointed over 30 years ago- Quality is at least good ‘Pathway to profitability’ ?⁦@SteveReedMP⁩ This #IHT has to go

"The longer they go without recognising the unbearable pressure they're putting on the elderly members of the farming community, the more I believe they just don't care." ICYMI 📺| NFU President Tom Bradshaw (@ProagriLtd) spoke to @GBNEWS yesterday about the need for government

“Let’s ban new oil and gas licences in the North Sea but spaff away £40billion buying North Sea oil and gas from Norway. Let’s buy coking coal shipments worth £7.2million from Japan but ban UK coal mining. Let’s plaster thousands of acres of farmland with solar panels but spend

Reeves inheritance tax raid to cost ‘staggering’ 200,000 jobs says ⁦@CBItweets⁩ report. Farming hardest hit but hospitality and tourism also caught. Net cost to Treasury will wipe out any tax gain

"We all want to farm sustainably, but how can we do that without a budget?" ICYMI📺| NFU Midlands regional board chair Jane Bassett was on @BBCCountryfile, explaining how SFI funding could have helped realise her environmental ambitions. Watch at 19:25 👉 https://t.co/NoGicXO5Y5

Great line up of speakers tonight at the @GHerbertBanks inaugural seminar -Seeds of Growth- Investing amid Uncertainty. Huge thanks to the speakers for a very interesting and thought provoking discussions.

Dear @Keir_Starmer I have, along with many farmers, felt out of sorts, poorly, exhausted, since @RachelReevesMP budget in October. We are desperate, We do our day job feeding people then we lobby at night, this isn’t sustainable and has a huge effect on our #mentalhealth

It's worth noting that the key thing here isn't the delay being proposed, though that would be gratefully received. What is needed is for the Gov't to set out terms of reference for a consultation that raises revenue while reducing avoidance and protecting family businesses.

Powerful report published today by a committee of (majority Labour) MPs, recommending the Government delay the IHT changes and consult on improvements which must “Prevent APR and BPR being used to avoid inheritance tax while allowing farms to be passed between generations

The EFRA Committee report recommends (para 50) that the Government should delay their IHT proposals for 12 months and in that time consult on better methods that prevent avoidance but allow the family farm to be passed on intact. The current proposal risks crippling or

Since just after the #FamilyFarmTax was announced I've been urging the Government to consult on changing the poorly though through measures. The proposed changes mean: - Wealthy couples buying a few acres to avoid £2m of tax between a couple are not caught; - Ultra-wealthy
