Beautiful part of Norfolk Dereham today, farmer trying Triton out it in a very soft cultivated field .. I guess you just check it does everything before you send the old drill to auction. Doing a good job and leaving the important ridge on slumpy type light loam #directdrill#sfi #harvest #wheat
The Chancellor Rachel Reeves is finished - the PM won’t guarantee she’ll remain in post, her fake CV and career lies have made her a social media punchline, and her lies to farmers and pensioners will never be forgotten.
Yet the MSM still ignore this growing scandal…
Labour can find £11.6bn for overseas climate aid, £22bn for carbon capture, £8.5bn for GB Energy, £9bn on public sector pay rises, and billions for Net Zero.
But refuse to find £1.4bn for pensioners and will tax farmers out of existence for just £500m.
It's frankly a disgrace.
There are a lot of very stupid things being said on the family farming tax, by people who are proving themselves to be entirely ignorant of British agriculture.
The farm may be worth millions, but it's worth NOTHING until it's sold. So when the farm is passed down, and this huge tax bill arrives - what is the family supposed to do? They don't have hundreds of thousands of pounds sitting in the bank...
Farming is not a lucrative career. It does not make much money. The land is valuable, but the returns are not.
Running a farm is bloody expensive - profits are minuscule in comparison to the value of the actual farm.
This is really not a complicated principle, yet I see idiots parroting utter nonsense.
Labour's farming tax will force thousands of farming families to sell the farm to pay the inheritance tax bill. Farms that have been in those families for generations - if it were not for this tax, they would never dream of selling.
It's really that simple, and it will change British farming forever.
This is a tax drawn up by people who have NO understanding of agriculture. There are three farming MPs in Parliament, I am one of them...
Trust me when I say this - Labour does NOT understanding farming. It would be laughable if they were not running the damn country.
I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of Labour MPs believe that potatoes grow on trees. These are urban people who think that a farm is a family day out, an opportunity to feed the sheep and ride the tractor.
Clueless. On farming, and so much else.
I will be standing alongside thousands of other British farmers tomorrow. We must make our voices heard.
Reeves must reverse her cruel assault on British family farms. Either she does it now, or we'll do it in 2029.
Thank you for all the support so far this week!

@iTunes Can you help me please. I’m having no luck in playing the movie Rocketman I recently bought on my Apple TV box. It runs for 48 sec and then says An error has occurred loading this content. Any ideas please.
All a bit different today. Wheat is too damp as the weather is a touch on the cloudy/ murky side. So we are harvesting winter beans which seam to be coming off the field lovely. We can push along with bean,... https://t.co/4qd5tarntN
