@FarmerBarney It was raining in turkey this morning!!

Out of office now on ✈️🇹🇷

@cattlefinishers Grown back well since we grazed it!

In my happy place with true blue. No AC ❄️ No Radio 📻 No Phone Call cos I can't hear it ringing. 📵 #Ford 🚜 #Farming #SilageHarvest2025

@aSamEvans @HefinR Encouraging more kids to go to private school, will have a bigger impact. Same spend, more per child, smaller classes. Shame common sense isn’t a thing!

In other news, that then means that schools won’t get anything due to all the alleged benefit actually being spent on the costs of educating new pupils and extra taxis! All whilst existing educational infrastructure can’t cope with the current numbers! 🤷‍♂️

Starmer confirms: He has no idea!! Starmer asks UK regulators for ideas to boost growth - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@ScotNational @HefinR We no longer have the food to export! Record high beef and lamb prices in 2024, uk farmers struggling to meet demand of Uk

Tomorrow's front page: The UK Government has admitted food exports from farming to the EU have plummeted by 20% in real terms since Brexit

@DavidButler34 Hound exercise???

Announced on Boxing Day. Deliberately provocative. The Politics of spite.

Sound track of 2024! Amazing, well done, shows everyone what farming is all about!

@cattlefinishers Someone been to the new M&S in selby! Went past yesterday, it was full, the new Iceland next door empty! Turns out British public want high quality British food, not imported crap! Shame this shambles of a gov doesn’t think the same!

Been sent to shops. Teas sorted. Going to be a good one. 🇬🇧🐂🥩🍽️🎄

@JimHigham @DanNeidle @ProagriLtd Not true, when @DanNeidle first proposed this a few weeks ago it was well received by farmers as a good option.

@DanNeidle @ProagriLtd It’d be great to see the farmers supporting your suggestions. Unfortunately they’re supporting rich tax avoiders still.

Huge admiration for ⁦@DanNeidle⁩ who was willing to look at the detail of the IHT policy proposal and conclude that it should be amended! New ‘Tractor tax’ blow to Starmer as Labour expert calls for government U-turn | The Independent independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

@IanStockport @DanNeidle Risk at present is next gen get handed farm over earlier and have to keep it going for older gen, when perhaps they don’t want to farm.

@MeatLinc @DanNeidle The risk is the next gen will keep the farm with no motivation to farm it more then is legally required.

New data on farms and inheritance tax: a third of farm estates over £1.5m aren’t farmers but wealthy people avoiding IHT by sinking money into farmland. The Budget hits farmers too hard and tax avoiders too lightly. It needs to change.

@Georgethefarmer @Ruralpay @NaturalEngland @JanetHughes Land agent brother said SFI apps were taking a week, now taking 3-4months. Budget will be underspent and gov will take surplus back. Budget cuts through incompetence

I’ve heard a few rumours that no CS capital grant applications are being processed at the moment due to future funding uncertainties. Any truth @Ruralpay @NaturalEngland @JanetHughes ? Thanks

@DanNeidle It’s amazing what could be achieved with the consultation! What’s more worry is they don’t consult, and the masses of others things they cock up as a result!

@MeatLinc Thanks, George. Yes, I've spoken to farmers on this, as well as advisers, and that seems the near-universal view.

@AW_ARobinson @FarmersWeekly @DefraGovUK @LizWebsterSBF @SaveBritishFood @JoeWStanley @agricontract @Wyefarm @laithafarm @Nigelrefowens @1GarethWynJones The gov are confusing those that will pay IHT and those at risk of IHT, the only thing that moves you from ‘at risk’ to paying it is fate! For those that suffer the fate, the consequences are devastating! That’s what makes this policy so evil and cruel!

@FarmersWeekly @DefraGovUK @LizWebsterSBF @SaveBritishFood @JoeWStanley @agricontract @Wyefarm @laithafarm @Nigelrefowens @1GarethWynJones Overstating!!! That’s a laugh . More like they are totally understating the actual number of farming businesses that will be affected . The number is huge .

👀 @DefraGovUK farming minister Daniel Zeichner has accused farmers of overstating the impact of the planned cuts to agricultural property relief. READ MORE: ow.ly/xO7R50U4obY

@RobertHodgkins1 @ShepherdWales Every business set up is different, costs vary massively as every farm’s financial circumstances are different. New IHT is ‘another’ cost to your business that is unexpected, it’s to simple to just label it as a ‘rent equivalent’

@RobertHodgkins1 @ShepherdWales Very little done recently, but I would say good land £150 ish, now no BPS. I pay £70 for grassland

Average farm in England is £2.2million. Basic threshold - Elderly farmer, spouse deceased £1.5 million according to Dan Neidle. £700,000 left, 20% tax = £140k Over 10 years 14k per year Grazing Farm earns average - £36,000 per year Half their annual income going on a tax bill Is that viable? #FamilyFarmTax🚜

@RobertHodgkins1 @ShepherdWales Land around us is £16k, that’s bare land. Neighbours yard just sold for 700k. Out 600 plus yard would be £10m. Parents own separate house. Works out at £266/acre. Paid out after corporation tax, so add another 60, is £320/acre.

@ShepherdWales this is an emotive subject and I am certainly not looking to pick a fight, please let me know if my figures are wrong?

@agricontract @TheSun @thetimes @TWBFarms @JeremyClarkson Well done! We need everyone on side and we need numbers! Most important trip to London ever!!!

Farmers rally London 19th #WeJustWantToFeedYou Please RT #foodbank the sun have confused things @TheSun @thetimes @TWBFarms @JeremyClarkson

@FarmersGuardian @NFUtweets Think there will be a few more than 1800 there!
