@Jacob_Rees_Mogg Chicken is more expensive in the States than in the UK, so there isnโt even the economic market forces to enable importation, why is it even a debate? Could always find ways to support British farmers to produce an even safer and higher standard product instead?
@Jacob_Rees_Mogg Regardless of the morality of the technique, if British farmers cannot produce (any product) to the same standards then the importation of a product thatโs cheaper and illegal to replicate here undermines our homegrown food security.
@RupertLowe10 -Level playing field with imports
-cost and access to labour- hand in hand with rural connectivity and cost of housing.
-mechanisms to protect farm businesses from wildly fluctuating input and output prices, as well as weather related yields
-schemes to encourage new entrants
The likes of Dyson and Clarkson probably can afford to pay the new rate of APR but wouldnโt be able to on just farming income, but Iโm bloody glad they are standing side by side with us family farms and helping to raise awareness of this proposed destructive tax.
@CA_TimB Hi Tim, can you enlighten me please as to the influence Dan N carries on the topic and the significance of his new proposal/line of thinking? Is he particularly close to Treasury/Govtโฆcan we take it as a genuine positive light in the tunnel?
@HawfordFarm Presumably there could be CGT on the bit they have to sell to pay the IHT? Therefore depends on when it was originally bought, previous inheritance transfers etc, could easily be much more than 10ha required to be sold in your example.
