“Farmers are land rich and cash poor. So we ended the estate tax. When a parent leaves a farm to the kids, they do not have to worry about their local banker coming in and stealing their farm.”
~ Donald Trump’s inconvenient home truths to Keir Starmer.
@FarmingUK Maybe not discontinuing the Fruit & Vegetable Producer Organisation scheme which helped growers market together and gave assistance to innovation in the production of fruit & vegetables would have been sensible!! Especially when Europe & Scotland still have this advantage !
@wheat_daddy
Also last week the Government announced it wasn’t continuing with the current Fruit & Vegetable scheme of ‘Producer Organisations’ This will impact fresh produce and jobs in the industry. Ironically Scotlands scheme is to continue.
Serious for the industry!
