New CAAV analysis suggests Treasury is out by a factor of five when it says only 500 farmers a year will be hit by IHT. Time for a rethink, surely.... @FarmersWeekly @DefraGovUK @hmtreasury @RachelReevesMP @CAAVAgValuer fwi.co.uk/business/business-…

Over 100,000 people have added their name to stop the family farm tax.
The government must now listen and overturn this policy.

At what point is it time to just say F you.
We waste so much time talking and discussing things with “empty vessels” who lie to our faces.
Farmers, small business, processors… the list goes on.
London 19th of sept is a start but this shit isn’t going away. The knife is in.

Farmland values in Northern Ireland currently £25K-£30K/acre. At 25K, 40acres of bare land will exceed the £1M threshold. Virtually every farm in NI is therefore at risk from the IHT change. With a population of circa 2M, NI currently produces enough food for 10M! Go figure.

"We would like an urgent meeting with the Chancellor to explain why this would have such an impact on the fabric of our countryside"

"You've got it wrong" is the message that farmers at risk of losing their livelihoods without APR are sending to the Government. @JimShannonMP and @Jeremy_Hunt represent the cross-party agreement on this threat facing British agriculture

Such a wicked tax on farmers. And ask why Labour has done it?Because that’s important. Imagine a farm in a family for generations only worth 1m in actual land and a few farm buildings. Not a big farm. Turn over just enough to create a very modest living with all family members chipping in. Long hours. No holidays. Often teenage children help for free to keep businesses viable. Learning the trade. Something unexpected or terrible happens, and inheritance tax is due. That family can’t pay it without selling. The family becomes homeless. Sells for cheaper than worth because tax has to be paid. The generations of knowledge are lost. A family is homeless & a large faceless conglomerate buys it up…. Bill Gates is now the biggest land owner of farmland in USA! Worrying times ahead..

🗣️ @UFUHQ president, David Brown - "These figures confirm that @Tesco is getting all the rewards, while farmers carry all the risks. An effective food chain depends on fairness and these figures confirm that does not exist for farmers."

The UFU sadly bid farewell to beef & lamb/hill farming policy officer Daryl McLaughlin. Daryl worked for the UFU for 5 years & has been an integral part of the team with an incredible work ethic. We would like to thank Daryl for his service to members & wish him all the best.
