[Jason Hendy @cereals_sw]

That’s a wrap for me on this acc. An insightful & well attended meet at @steanbowfarms following @monitorfarm a week ago. Three years whistles by… thanks all, it’s been fun! I move on to @GerminalUKAgri this handle goes to @cereals_se See you on the other side 🙂👨‍🌾 @ahdbcereals

Webinar Update. Slight change - on November 20th at 3pm we will be joined by @westernarable for a grain market and related issue discussion. Please register online (‘Chaff Chat South’). @AHDB_Cereals

[Jason Hendy @cereals_sw]

@RBoldan Indeed, whilst I will platform
appropriate commercial entities at AHDB events, I think the critical difference here is that being delivered can then be (and is) questioned by the 20-50 practitioners in the room - a truly open forum if you will…

[Jason Hendy @cereals_sw]

Last rodeo of the summer and a cracker it was too… 🌽🌾 Attendees from Tewkesbury to Truro and lots of genuine knowledge shared. Thanks to our host @steanbowfarms and speakers @Syngenta & @maizegrowers Watch your emails for the autumn / winter schedule @AHDB_Cereals

[Jason Hendy @cereals_sw]

Annual scenic shot from Camborne MF with @monitorfarm 🙏 A Cracking evening - first use of the educational building, tech insights galore @kirstymckenzie_ @Syngenta (Brassica weeds remain a pest however 😜). 2026 Plans set … Last stop next week @steanbowfarms @AHDB_Cereals

[Jason Hendy @cereals_sw]

Yesterday we wound up proceedings (for now..) with Andrew at Boddington Estates (Cheltenham MF). A varied day was had drones, endophytes, MANNER NPK, 🍔… Many thanks all! @Syngenta @AHDB_Cereals @Kathrynstyan

[Jason Hendy @cereals_sw]

If you missed us at NIAB (Sutton or Ciren) then your next chances are @westernarable on Saturday & @BASF Hurcott on Tuesday. Thursday 26th we round up the Monitor Farm at Cheltenham, then close the pre-harvest tour @EJWGLENDINNING Devon on 1st. See you around 👍 @AHDB_Cereals

Excellent showing for @niabgroup Sutton Scotney today. Farmers, ex colleagues, & students, customers -you name it, from Callington to Malmesbury and beyond 👏. Well done my accomplices too - Martlew & Miller 👍 @AHDB_Cereals

@RossLead @IngmansShoes Miss mine… quality boot 👌

[Jason Hendy @cereals_sw]

@steanbowfarms @AHDB_Cereals Indeed. Date TBC - but early July 🤞@maizegrowers 🙂

[Jason Hendy @cereals_sw]

Not for the faint of heart yesterday (in the wind) but a stoic crowd were rewarded with some pearls of wisdom from the growing & grazing cover crops dream team. Thanks all, especially @JoMatt_Germinal @ExlanaSheep and host Bob! @AHDB_Cereals

[Jason Hendy @cereals_sw]

@steanbowfarms today with the heavy / wet land duo of @FarmservicesLtd & @andynewbold Another fantastic effort from host farm and great levy payer turnout too. 👏 all. Thanks also @HuntForestGroup @AHDB_Cereals

[Jason Hendy @cereals_sw]

Excellent day with @monitorfarm & @andynewbold Tackle, tillage & tin mines - it could only be Camborne. Thanks all, see you next time. @steanbowfarms tomorrow. @AHDB_Cereals

[Jason Hendy @cereals_sw]

Enthusiasm certainly wasn’t dampened or drained by the theme at Cheltenham last week. Great turnout, great speakers, a hearty breakfast and a fine day… chuffed with a quality meeting 👏 @AHDB_Cereals @andynewbold @FarmservicesLtd

[Jason Hendy @cereals_sw]

There endeth a snowy and fairly long haul plant nutrient double header. @mrlancrop on sparkling for as ever, thanks also to Tim & Shaun @wessexwater and our hosts @monitorfarm & @steanbowfarms 👏👍 #knowledge @AHDB_Cereals

[Jason Hendy @cereals_sw]

@steanbowfarms @AHDB_Cereals @wessexwater Alister doing a great job - a natural 👏

[Jason Hendy @cereals_sw]

@BBCNewsnight @vicderbyshire I’ll answer on Jeremy’s behalf here - the last data I saw suggested that this APR change will generate around 20hours of NHS funding.

[Jason Hendy @cereals_sw]

@RossLead It was indeed, I fear it’ll need to be the first of many actions to actually save this industry but a start nonetheless…

[Jason Hendy @cereals_sw]

@nvonwestenholz I like a strapline Nick - can we fairly paraphrase this into ‘these changes will ‘only’ see 37% of farmers forced to sell land - most likely to non-farming entities’ 🤔

[Jason Hendy @cereals_sw]

Basic (sad) farm economics here… is anyone in government listening 🤔

[Alan Leedham @LeedhamAlan]

So, #FamilyFarmTax
Say 400acre family farm at £10k/ acre = £4m
House, machinery etc £1.5m = £5.5m
£1m to £3m exempt, say £2m.
20% IHT on £3.5m is £700k.
If a generation is 28 yrs that's £25k a year IHT (paid after income tax etc)
so 0.45% of capital every year
BUT, read on⬇️
