[@mickeymousegoofey6224]

Again no joined up thinking from our government. Follow this process, an elderly farmer dies, the estate is valued and tax levied. The amount can be paid over ten years as per usual. However the annual amount does not leave sufficient for the farm to survive given the fact that most farms are not cash rich. So the solution is to sell in part or in whole. Now it won't be another farmer it will be a business that buys whatever is on offer. This will result in the same situation we have with for instance water companies, i.e. run for profit for shareholders which in turn means higher costs. Of course the farmer could resolve the cash flow caused by his relatives death by raising prices but since he would be a small voice he would not succeed against big supermarkets who are also combating NI hikes. The whole economic fallout from the recent budget is absolutely frightening.

Some people are so ignorant and the chief in ignorance are running the country at the moment. I help a local, elderly hill farmer with his paper work. Be sure, he is more honest than my clergyman brother, scrupulous in "rendering into Caesar what is Caesar's.' Farmers pay, believe me they pay their taxes. Only fools think otherwise. Britain was founded on farming. The next generation, inheriting a farm, has almost always been working there, helping to run it for a low wage for decades before the ownership passes to him or her. It Isn't just a house with a big garden. It is a work place of vital necessity to our ability to eat.

[@alistairbiggar2123]

It seems that Andrew Bowie graduated from Aberdeen University with a First Class Honours in hypocrisy. Just about everything he bemoaned about the parlous state of UK farming was caused as a direct result of decisions taken by his colleagues in Government. Primarily being driven by our departure from the EU. While I completely understand Gareth’s frustration with the decision of the current Government to raise taxes by imposing inheritance tax, he seems to be nodding in agreement with the people that caused farming to be a non profit organisation in the first place. I sincerely hope that the Government reconsiders and reverses this decision before the inevitable damage ensues. I think we’ve all had enough of shooting ourselves in the foot now. Or at least I hope we have!

Farmers do very important work. Period. But it’s not working for the country is it. We now produce less of the food we eat than we did 20 years ago. The impact of the inheritance tax changes are only part of what is going to happen. You also need to realise that the sound of millionaires complaining about how tough it is for them is not impressive. I live in West Sussex where there is a lot of very rich landowners who farm for the tax benefits. They are not contributing much. A ten acre field with two horses grazing overwinter being an obvious example. A working family with both parents working who have to use a food bank EVERY week are easier to sympathise with.

[@richardpiper4828]

Really good Harry’s Farm video on this subject. Absolutely awful nail in the coffin for British Farming and no prior warning to plan. And well done Gareth.

[@richardpiper4828]

Not a farmer myself but come from a long line of farming stock. Several over the years have fallen by the wayside - because farms were either too small or because the farmers were not forward thinking or very efficient but my uncle started as a farm worker, became a farm manager, then a tenant farmer and eventually a farm owner which he combined with farming adjacent land owned by the Duchy of Cornwall. Operation has since passed to my cousin who hopefully will still has time (god willing) to transfer ownership to children. It never ceases to amaze me of the complexity of modern farming, all the legislative obstacles farmers have to jump, the compete stuffing of farmers by Brexit and broken Boris promises, the huge capital investment required, the juggling of cash flow and the hours that he has to work. To say nothing of the complete uncertainty of the weather, input costs, world commodity prices and what his crops and livestock will sell for in a quite time restricted window. This new inheritance blow will kill small farms where the farmer has been not just the steward for future generations but for the sustainability of the land and biodiversity. I guess the same innate responsibility is not adopted by the big agricultural farming conglomerates who will be the inevitable beneficiaries of any land having to be sold off. We might have well signed a free trade deal with the US and at least (possibly) got some benefit in return. I just hope that this tax grab will be Starmer’s Poll Tax.

There is no case for one type of business in the UK to get a massive inheritance tax benefit whilst the burden falls to the majority of us who dont own a farm. The issue with farming is that the value of land is way above where it should be. That makes it unsustainable long term, which then drives farmers to demand subsidies. Falling demand and prices for land is a good thing for farmers (farm and land values also drop back meaning more farm can then be passed down). No one in their right mind farms past the age of 70, so just gift it.

[@martinhambleton5076]

If this total madness is allowed to continue. Farming will plummet, and food production will be compromised as farming businesses will not invest. Thus, it will totally implode from the outside inwards. The supply and support industries that purely survive because of farming is huge and not even had a mention in this horlicks. Once this has happened and reached the nucleus, it will be in an irrecoverable position, as the knowledge will have gone. The reason that this has happened is quite simply because the government is so far removed from life reality and doesn't even understand that agriculture is the countries life support machine. They have put financial value on the assets and total worthlessness on the people who make farming work. The 10 years to pay the IHT is really meaningless when taking into consideration it would take roughly 160% of annual income. This equation will stay the same irrespective of farm size as the yield per acre or litres of milk from a cow is fairly static on a well ran farm. I would also say that the investment/profit per acre or per livestock unit would be similar in monetary terms regardless of size. This really is a calamity of an epic, tragic, and perverted proportion that has not even been realised in the harsh severity that will follow. It will be a life itself experience for many.

[@skunclep1938]

How many farms that aren’t “really huge” are worth more than £2m? How many farmers wanted out of the protection of the EU, and voted consecutively for Tory governments? How many of the ones who voted Leave would have changed their minds if they had known that their inheritance tax exemption was at stake? We know that this would not even be on the table were we still in the EU. How many miners had over £1m in assets? Did the NFU come out support of the miners in the 80’s? How dare you compare this to damage inflicted on the miners!?! We know that farmers work hard, we know that it’s a vocation not a lifestyle choice, and indeed there is an argument to increase the cap which may happen if farmers provide the evidence to the government, but to suggest that this a Thatcheresque attack on the industry is ludicrous and extremely disrespectful.

[@jonathanmormerod]

The difference between the miners and farmers is that we will always need the latter and no longer need the former. Thatcher may have gutted the mining industry but to all intents and purposes, she did the Blair/Brown Government a favour because they would have had to deal with the miners in the early 2000s, once it became abundantly clear what damage fossil fuels (especially coal) were doing to the planet. One could argue (I'm not saying I would) that Thatcher was ahead of her time. The only possible downside is that the premature "dash for gas" depleted our own stocks to the extent that we had to rely on imported gas in 2022. I doubt it would have made a huge difference, because the oil giants don't care where it comes from, only how much they can fleece us for it.

[@phillee7579]

Perhaps you can explain why farming has not increased in prosperity since the John Major reforms to IHT about 30 years ago? I'm all for supporting farmers but what have they done with the support from the EU and our government if they still cannot make a living? I didnt see major protests about anything under the last government, why was that? The Australian deal was a shambles but very little was said. If you are going to say that so much IHT will be paid then you need to supply figures, and not just make a statement when you do not have all the facts. For example, that man who said he would pay £600000, also said there were 3 participants on the farm. Does that mean his share was worth £4million, and the global value of the farm etc was £12million?

The reason that Britain will never again be permitted to join the European Union, 🇪🇺 is the same reason that it departed. It's "Little England" mentality. Britain is not, and never was prepared to embrace the European ideal. From the outset Britain was uncomfortable with the idea of total unity with its European neighbours, and every episode of videos such as this one, prove beyond doubt that the UK has no place in a united Europe. Talk is of lost trade, never lost political cohesion. Of being poorer financially, not of being poorer spiritually from the loss of friendship of the other members of our international family. Any talk of giving up the pound brings howls of outrage from the British, yet France and Germany surrendered their currencies without demure, even Greece exchanged the oldest named currency in the world for the Euro. Europe is an ideal, a union of peoples all sharing a desire to work together for a "Greater good" not simply for their own pecunary advantage. Britain never understood this, never wanted this, and now you are gone. So, continue to grind your teeth about how much your economy has lost, how you can't use your gîte in Provence, your passport queues, and lack of fresh food, and remember...... It is only going to get worse, not better as we in Europe adapt to your absence, and move on. On a final note, all 27 member states must vote unanimously for your renewed acceptance ! so, amonst many other things, prepare yourselves to give Gibraltar 🇬🇮 back to Spain 🇪🇸 !
