The real question is why change the IHT threshold now???? What’s changed since the budget? What else could be coming? Their motives scare me???

I hope Will’s sheep raises a fortune for this cause - and I suspect it will

@herdyshepherd1 Some horrendous examples of down right dishonesty. It shouldn’t be happening and is wrong.
English
Hearing horrific tales about large landed estates more or less bullying and manipulating their tenants off farms
There is a growing body of evidence, witnesses and potential whistleblowers to this behaviour

An actual deadline would be better IMO. A lot of applicants will be left hanging still.

Defra has today announced that the Capital Grants scheme budget is now fully allocated, following an earlier update to say around 75% of the funding had been allocated. Find out more and read NFU Deputy President David Exwood's comment👉nfuonline.com/updates-and-in…

@KoroTeeps Shoulder direct to the head. Morgan hit his back🤷♂️

Just as a comparison, this cleanout by Brodie Retallick was a red card in a test match.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯@Vinsanity275
@JamieWall2 Retallick got sent off for a similar incident against Japan

@Seb_Parker Totally different. He led with his arm/shoulder to his head and the Scotland player wasn’t in a position to go for the ball

@KapilaSandy Thanks for your help in any difficult cases I brought forward. It was appreciated.

Has there been a more miserable time to run a business in the UK?

Jeremy’s always battling weather or red tape—what’s the biggest obstacle you think he’ll face in Season 4? Drop your predictions!

@TheFarmingForum @Minette_Batters @NFUtweets @SteveReedMP Doesn’t the farm business survey do this? It shows without support many will go struggle to run a viable business unless prices increase to replace it. They have increased, yes, but need to increase further. This will take time and some don’t have that!
English
Can someone tell us why the tax payer needs to appoint and pay for @Minette_Batters to help DEFRA when @NFUtweets can do it for free ? @SteveReedMP
English
@VictoriaAtkins For me the biggest issue at the moment isn’t the IHT it’s the removal of support and move to expecting a market that isn’t providing an adequate return to replace that income as well as expecting business people to plan cash flow with constant removal of schemes.
English
Great to be at Louth Livestock Market, which is such a pillar in our local community to hear ideas on building a bright future for our agriculture industry.
It was clear from our discussion that this city-dwelling government is showing a blatant disregard for rural communities.
If Labour cared about farmers, it would join me and axe the #FamilyFarmTax.

@CrosseMichael We did shed rearing on the ewe last year and I didn’t like it. Ewes didn’t keep condition, a lot of feed and seemed crazy keeping them in with grass growing outside. A lot of cross suckling as well when inside. Still finding what works 🙈
English
@jameshadwin I think it works best if you can keep ewe and lambs in shed, more controlled and ensures lambs eats concentrate. Cost wise as we now house the ewe’s anyway for winter, on good quality silage, the cost isn’t huge. Need >shed space. Artificial rearing to a minimum for us now
English
Doing things a little different this year. Lambs left on ewes on the herbal leys to rear lambs before milking. Cutting feed and labour costs . A much more enjoyable system, well in this weather at least 👍 #sheepmilk #sheepscheese
English
@CrosseMichael 👍 How long do you leave them on for with you? I’ve done various systems but matching grass growth here means we are late lambing and reducing lactation length. Taking them off is boom or bust surely letting them rear lambs is more resilient in the long term.

Part of my exchanges with the Food Security minister Daniel Zeichner at the EFRA Committee this morning - focusing on the closure of the Sustainable Farming Incentive last month without any warning.
English
Crazy. There’s is no explanation re the pulling of SFI and the fact 6 weeks notice wasn’t given other than it was a lie and mis led people. What’s happening here? 🤷♂️
Ralph Blackburn@RalphBlackburn
'What farmers were told just wasn't true' - Farming Minister Daniel Zeichner and Defra officials are grilled by MPs on the sudden closure of the SFI scheme. It gets very awkward in this clip.

Janet & Sandy have been the best thing to come out of the RPA for years. Knowledgeable, approachable & always keen to try and help as best they can. Attempting to throw them & their colleagues under the bus for this ministerial decision is low. Very low.
Robbie Moore MP@_RobbieMoore
Simply stunning. Today, the Farming Minister was asked by the EFRA Select Committee why he closed the SFI scheme at a moment’s notice without giving the promised 6 weeks notice. Instead, he passed the buck onto his official, who was clear in her response it was the Minister’s own decision. Clearly, all is not well within DEFRA - and our farmers are right to be absolutely outraged. Politics aside, today’s meeting shows the pure incompetence at the heart of DEFRA. If you know the SFI scheme is filling up and you have that data in front of you, why not at the very least give farmers the 6 weeks notice they were promised?
