On day 1 of my high school history class, our teacher got up and said:
“You are 15 or 16 years old. 200 years ago, people your age were married, planted crops, had children and built a cabin before winter.
You can do your homework. The bar is set embarrassingly low. You are not dealing with regional famine or plague. You do not have to save your family from marauders or go into battle to destroy your enemies.
You just have to sit down and learn from someone who cares about you in a safe air-conditioned room.
You have no excuses.”
This is the kind of teachers we need.
We put the land use argument to Keith.
Keith. You are occupying agricultural land that could, theoretically, be used to grow crops. How do you respond?
Keith stopped chewing.
He looked at the field.
The field is on a 30-degree slope in Devon. The topsoil is clay. The drainage is complicated. No tractor has successfully operated in the lower section without becoming a story people tell in the village pub.
Keith looked at us.
Keith, do you believe this field could produce food crops without you on it?
Keith walked to the lower section of the field. He ate a thistle. He stepped on a bramble runner and ate that too. He looked at the clay in the corner where it waterlogged every winter and produced nothing except rushes, which Keith also ate.
Are you saying the field is only productive because you're on it?
Keith looked at us with the expression of an animal that has grasped the argument entirely and found the question slightly beneath him.
He then left through the gate he had opened by himself.
He was in the road for nine minutes.
He ate a passing cyclist's energy bar.
We are not including this in the land use efficiency report.
Labour’s own rigged report just let the cat out of the bag.
Baroness Batters confirms what we all know: Starmer’s death tax will hammer farm profitability and push families to the brink.
The best bit? They banned her from recommending they scrap it.
They know this destroys family farms. That’s the point!
Bankrupt the owners, force a sale, and carpet our countryside in industrial solar panels.
It’s not incompetence; it’s a rural clearance strategy.
Shocked and appalled by the amount of comments labeling farmers as 'tax dodgers', and that they should 'sell up' for the UK to import all of its food.
UK farmers pay Tax similarly to other businesses and individuals, covering income Tax, National insurance, Corporation Tax (if operating as a company), Capital Gains Tax, and VAT (if applicable).
The main distinctions are in targeted reliefs, especially for Inheritance Tax (IHT), which helps to support the agricultural sector as a whole by allowing the transfer of farms for the next generation to work. If a farm is sold, Capital Gains Tax has to be paid on any realised profits.
In 2024 the Agricultural industry contributed £14.5 billion to the economy and employed 452,900 tax paying workers.
So farmers absolutely do pay taxes (and have done for hundreds of years), while currently providing 62% of all food consumed in the UK. What an honourable vocation.
Thank you, Farmers.

Do you support the Liberty University students who gathered together to praise and celebrate Jesus?
YES or NO?
This was censored by the mainstream media! Let's make it go VIRAL!
There should be a TV series that showcases the daily lives of those working in the farming and fishing industries. One specific episode featuring each sector: poultry, dairy, beef, cereal, fish, fruit, vegetables, wool etc. This would improve public understanding of what is really involved in providing our food.
