A big corporate farming entity bought all the land around me 2 years ago. Within 3 months their “land agent’ came around to every tenant and increased the rental 300% on workshops/storage units. Literally my leaking roof building went from £5400 to £22,000 which dropped to £18,000pa when I kicked off.

I have a small farm & I do their accounts for a lot and I can tell you not one has 100k in the bank. Most in debt and just about surviving. They do it because they love it.

Farmers are the backbone of our society. Food production is vital. Within 10 tens, I fear thousands of farms will cease to exist. French farmers have balls. They would not stand for this.
Storm in a teacup. If farmers structure their business correctly then they are exempt. It does however mean running the farm as a transparent business, rather than a ‘family farm’
Ah diddums. For years now, working class people whose only real wealth was in their homes, have had to use it to pay for their care home occupation. No passing on that wealth to their children. No dodging paying up by transferring the deeds or whatever solicitor tells them what to do
The presenters are either ignorant of the facts or just following a script. Where do they think food comes from? It doesn't grow on a supermarket shelf. Farming is a highly technical business now, we need the knowledge and experience of those who currently work on the land.
dreadful for the smaller family farms , sadly over the past few years , big players, consortiums have been investing in land and hiding money , no interest in farming apart from playing at it and then making it a commercial asset or selling it off for building , someone i know has just done this , just receiving 20 million for a housing estate ! this should be means tested and look at the backgrounds and how the land has been used and how long its been owned
Uk farmers are checked and regulated by Red Tractor (NSF Standards Authority) Uk food is held to very high standards. Most imported food is not NSF regulated so we have no idea how many herbicides, pesticides and toxic chemicals have been used in its production. In some studies heavy metals have been found in grains from Ukraine due to the war just for an example. We need to support uk farmers and Uk food security… Not tax it into extinction.
The farmers look after our countryside and grow our food. They should be supported with grants and tax relief at pre-brexit levels, forever. I expect these champagne socialists imagine Waitrose grows all the stuff in storage warehouses.
I cannot emphasise enough how people with wealth will always fight for exemptions in order to protect that wealth. School fees… inheritance tax… we know it will be hard for some people. It can be hard if you don’t inherit a farm too. Also, poor Jeremy. Poor poor Jeremy.
surely this is simple to solve if it has been in the family for greater than 2 or 3 generations you are exempt, and you have to show its your main source of income
Your suggestion is too simplistic. If applied, no new families would be able to get into farming. Taking into account what the farmer said about machine costs, let alone buildings, land etc. Anyone who tried to start farming would be unable to pass it onto their kids because their farm would easily be worth more than one million but wouldn't be 2-3 generations old so they'd fall victim to the inheritance tax. Meaning unless you're born into it you can't do it. That's pretty unfair don't you think?
@@akhil090579 I'd start with that the farmer himself suggested, raise the point at which the tax kicks in to a sensible value that won't affect most farmers. In reality, I probably would leave things as they were because if the concern was rich people avoiding tax as Reeves said, is this where you'd look to first? I think not.

£1million these days will only buy a small farm of about 70-90acres on a hill farm where the opportunities are limited to lamb, wool and beef production. Not viable for any full time farming business and definitely not viable for arable or dairy farming. However, farming is unlike any other industry in the support it gets and has benefitted from since the end of WW2. The self employed and many other businesses don't get and have got any help to get going or stay going. One way around this tax rise is to put the farm and its assets into a trust and do so fast so that the farm has been in a trust for at least seven years. There is no argument that this tax is permanently set, it could go up again or even drop. Farmers rarely protest, the reason why is because they have a very strong green pound (land and farmstead values). New blood struggles to get into farming because of the initial capital outlay. It is NOT the end of agriculture, land prices will not crash and I doubt the rate of farms coming on the market will increase much if at all.
Interesting one, could help aspiring young farmers if this means the cost of agricultural land drops because it no longer gets hoovered up by wealthy individuals because it is inheritance tax efficient
You cannot hide your wealth when it is in land and property any more. This is a massive tax loophole that is being closed. High time too. His lordship will not be pleased. Tenant farmers farm approximately 30% of the farmed land in the UK. This means they play a significant role in the country's agricultural landscape. So many very large estates will have to sell off their lands to the tenant farmers etc to avoid inheritance tax when they pass no doubt. This could be a good thing as most land is owned by generations of the privileged upper crust. High time too! It's obvious that the Thatcher experiment has failed the UK and North Sea Oil and Gas is on it's last legs. Brexit was another disaster. The UK must return to a producing Nation once again and not be reliant on the self service sector following the sell offs and privatisations which left the UK naked to foreign competition. Also our Tax regime has benefitted the wealthy over the decades with tax avoidance being a major industry and this has led to the rise of the rentiers and buy to lets and crucified the yoinger generations who are starting with nothing as opposed to those who inherit millions from estates that have grown and grown in value over the decades. The proof will be in the eating as they say, as we watch the value of Sterling, interest rates and inflation. Just hope it wotks out OK, otherwise the UK will continue on that downhill slope.
1. The rent that farmers pay will simply go up. 2. The reason land has such a high value is because of a lack of market regulation, much of which brought about by Thatcher, whom you bemoan. 3. Brexit has not been a disaster for UK agriculture.
Farming land is $8000 - $10000 per acre. Farming equipment is typically leased not purchased, it is isn't an asset. A farm house isn't a farm asset. I love Clarkson but he is pissed off as his huge farm will be passed his children at a rate which is reasonable, not a discounted rate, probably costing him $5M or more. Suggest farmers start using trust structures, or gift farms to their children now, not on their death.
Please explain how a farm house not an assset ? Some roles on farms come with a tied farm house so it has a value to the farm. If it has value isn't it an asset ?
@@jps8379 This is a historic aberration, where a small holding and a farm were together. Not all 'farm houses' are on the farm, despite being part of the farm asset for tax purposes, this isn't fair or right and the chancellor now sees this for what it is. In any other privately owned business you cannot offset private housing against a commercial operation. Farmers can and do. We need to evolve and industrialise farming, like the Dutch, if we want to take it seriously. Hobby Farming, land banking + Tax Breaks to support a lifestyle isn't farming, and even the Labour government now recognise this. How many farmers still use farming diesel for their personal cars... (being another of so many examples...).
Farmers will have to toe the line just like the rest of us. Protests just apply the same trade union restrictions on them as to how they can protest. Farmers are always bleating, crying and looking for sympathy it is bred into them generation after generation. They cried about the Agricultural Wages Board and still are up here in Scotland. They get massive subsidies to get them to do their job . It was Labour who introduced subsidies for them after the war, as the farmers then were bone idle and would not work the land productively. Stop your bleating and take your medicine like the rest of us.
Weren’t you listening? It’s almost impossible to break even. Unless you want farms to go bust and us rely on imported food even more than now, then you have to allow them to be passed down to family members.
