A farmer dies in April 2026.
His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847.
The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle.
On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify.
In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable.
The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft.
The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let.
A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up.
The Treasury collects £140,000.
The land never produces British food again.
"– Den genmodifiserte rapsoljen som er godkjent her i landet er eksempelvis modifisert til å tåle et sprøytemiddel som ikke er godkjent i Norge på grunn av kreftfare. Ønsker vi å importere produkter som er dyrket på en måte vi ikke tillater her i landet?"

Boligkrise for hvem? – Ytring https://t.co/kCrG64xmAL
A cow takes grass (inedible to humans) and produces:
- Meat (complete protein + fats)
- Milk (complete nutrition)
- Leather (clothing, tools)
- Tallow (cooking fat, soap, candles)
- Bones (tools, broth, fertilizer)
- Organs (nutrient-dense food)
- Manure (fertilizer)
This is complete resource utilization from a plant humans cannot eat.
You cannot replicate this with any technology. The cow is performing chemical transformations we cannot industrialize.
Grass → complete human nutrition is alchemy.
The cow is worth more than any machine humans have invented.
It runs on rain and grass. Produces multiple products. Builds soil while operating. Sequesters carbon. Reproduces itself.
And we're told to eliminate them for environmental reasons.
While flying in almonds from California and soy from Brazil.
The stupidity is breathtaking.
18.4 million acres of our most productive farmland could be lost by 2040 if trends continue. Your support on Giving Tuesday is critical to help us continue to save the land that sustains us: https://t.co/gOV62tLokp.

"– Jeg har ikke hørt et pip. Det har vært null kontakt i forbindelse med planarbeidet og synes det er en tilfeldig omgang med jordloven og vern av dyrka mark at arealet nå skal nyttes til idrettsformål."

Kraftig fall i nedbygginga av dyrkbar jord

"Norge har begrensede jordressurser sammenliknet med andre land. Bare tre prosent av landarealet er dyrka jord, og kun en tredjedel av dette arealet egner seg for matkornproduksjon."
