"I just don’t understand... if farming is such hard work with very little return, why farmers are so keen to continue farming?" My response... which is also why I believe this #FamilyFarmTax will have an impact on the whole country. New video Flank Farm

You do realise that nature recovery is now a co-financed project with farmers? And that most are barely viable? That they were screwed in several ways in the budget that undermines any trust in your organisation? And makes it almost impossible for us to help you?

Today it has been announced that capital grants are on hold, due to budget constraints. The truth is in real terms the budget is 44% smaller than 2019 and now the schemes can't be delivered. This government's rural policy is in tatters, trust severely damaged.

Yet more uncertainty for farmers especially those who want to get on and do positive things and invest in improvements in the landscape. theguardian.com/environment/20…

‘On paper, my land is worth about £3.5m. But I’ll never see that cash unless I fail miserably at the only job I want to do, and the only job I’ve ever trained for. This is also the job that the country really needs me to do.’ - Wise Chapman Sheep 🙌 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I often feel that GM doesn’t get the nuances and balance required to produce food whilst being stewards of the environment, but here he seems to have our back and is calling Labour out, for this crass decision

Why should farmers get inheritance tax breaks? Here is my take on it. The Labour Party you need to stop hiding behind your flawed figures, if you only want to hit 27% of farmers then make the changes! #stopthefamilyfarmtax

Government handling of this is a shambles, and is going to derail progress that was starting to be made on nature recovery at scale. Vast majority of nature restoration will have to be done on privately owned farmland, and farmers need paying to do it. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Our lack of care for farming and food systems in the U.K. is a national disgrace and on a scale that staggers belief This shows the % of ultra processed food we eat - people are right to reject angrily the further degradation of our foods Good farming matters Real food matters

And the absolute F cheek of pretending that paying for better farming is somehow in competition with paying for nurses and the NHS is ridiculous Nurses and good farmers are BOTH investments in public health

Another day of what-ifs after accountant meeting. Investment plans of £130k shelved What do we do? Dads ill, mums old. Can’t get insurance on Dad. Potentially means in the next 10yrs will be out as won’t be able to afford IHT amount. Mental hit is huge! 😞

A sea of tractors!🇬🇧 Notice was given, the roads were closed and traffic diverted for this peaceful protest, everyone involved did a brilliant job getting there message across. Hopefully the government was listening.

The really mad thing about the politics of farming, environment and food is that as you get nearer the pinnacle you meet people that seem to have power to change it But they tell you that they have NO power to change it - that everything is decided by the Treasury

Rather begs the question as to what Steve Reed MP thinks is to be gained from levying a massive tax liability on businesses which haven’t been profitable for a ‘very long time’.
