    Hi dear Johs And Sarah And Flank Farm. I am so knocked by this news and thank you for this blog. I want to say “like” but no it’s too sad news isn’t it guys
    Ps u know I studied
    Farming and volunteer at
    Two
    Farms. I have been a carer yes that is hard work. But
    Farming is isolating
    Cold
    And blooming tough work. And putting food in Great Britain for
    Export
    And for common sense makes
    Sense. It’s mad
    Take
    Care x

    Excellent
    I've missed you on this platform
    Seems to be the government's policy to turn the countryside into wind and solar farms, building sites for industry and housing, rewilded and allow us to be at the mercy of other country imports
    Where does all the other taxes go, perhaps they need to look at the top heavy civil service, NHS, government. Too many chiefs not enough Indians
    Your mum speaks far more sense than anyone in Westminster for sure
    Take care of each other

    I follow "Farming Explained" who has covered this issue well. The tax assessment is capital based but the payment is paid from farm income. Utterly warped perspective.

    • @flankfarm

      Cassie!!! Some incredibly smart people covering the issue, I just couldn’t find much on why the land is more precious to farmers than its monetary value, which certainly feels like an important point

    Sitting on the cliff edge of another global conflict, the government, in its infinite myopia, has failed to remember the lessons of WW2's rationing, threatened imports, and Dig (up the rose bushes) For Victory campaign.

    In line with the long tradition of British class resentments, in-power-by-default Labour looked around and thought, "let's make the landowner class pay." They should redefine the "landowner class" as thousands-of-acres aristocrats and thousands-of-acres factory-farming corporations.

    This must be fete I was only thinking a couple of days ago we have not heard from you two for months it’s great to know you are both well,however I feel for you having to put up with all the problems this Labour government is throwing at you.
    But be mindful you are not alone and we need you farmers every day of our lives,I know its difficult but try and keep positive and hopefully eventually common sense will prevail.

      @@flankfarm this is serious.and the public need to be aware and educated on how it will impact them if this goes through .
      The price and quality of food will be devastating. People really don't know .

    Shockingly bad news
    Hopefully common sense will prevail
    As the implications scenarios
    Aren’t positive
    One being
    The will be a glut of land up for sale - this’ll force the market price down
    foreign businesses will step in and buy large percentages
    Take control or British farming
    And as a result the government won’t see the tax revenue it’s counting on
    Its a lose lose

    Seems like the primary issue here is that farmers can't earn enough from the land to make their kids to want to be farmers. Is happening everywhere in the US as well and happened recently on my families farm. I feel like there should be an exemption for children who commit to working the land after it is handed down. If you aren't going to farm after your parents pass then it seems like land should be treated as any other form of property.
