Yes I feel for the farmers and land owners, 20% on land over £1,000,000 is a disgrace. Labour hoodwinked the voting public and they fell for it. Be warned this is just the start. On another note I'm not surprised with the bridge costs, there is a sunken lane very near me near Yeovil called Chinnock Hollow and there was a tree slipped onto the road blocking it, the councils assessment was to cost £2,000,000 yes 2 million to open the road so they closed it for good. Now this road was a narrow and steep but very useful for many people to get onto the A30. A farmer got fed up and cleared it with there equipment in one night, yes one night, the road was perfectly drive-able. The council hated being shown up and closed it again for good. It's a disgrace how we get ripped off by incompetent public workers who have only ever been paid money and not ever had to make money.
It’s a joke the government have killed the family farm off , not only does it affect the farmer but also the farm machinery dealers no body going to buy new tractors or new seed or fertiliser it also affects farm workers who will all be laid off because there’s not enough work all my mates are sick as pigs🫤
The government has bitten the hand that feeds them. It’s frightening the long term effects it will have. The kRM is doing a great job in some wet conditions. Keep up the good work Richard and team.
Years ago I had some land next to a Council owned playing field. The Council approached me and asked if we could renew the post and wire mutual fence. They said that they would get a quote and I said I would also get a price. My quote was almost half the price that they were given. I knew both the fencers and basically the Council were being rooked because they were the Council. The Council chap could not believe that my quote was correct, but agreed that we went ahead with it and got a first class fence.
Yes, very sad and disturbing times. Sadly this Government sees pensioners and farmers as the enemy, as we are seen to be asset rich and ripe to be robbed. What is sinister is what will be the outcome? Huge corporate owned solar "farms" (sic), more building development everywhere and plenty of money for wasteful projects and consultants. Goodbye farming and goodbye countryside. Keep safe and keep strong. Best wishes Paul.
I can remember my grandfather and an old boss of mine both saying Labour don't want Britain to have an Agricultural industry even though in past we helped to feed the world
Absolutely right about about the government and council spending. They couldn't run a business. How many thousands of jobs like that. Build a lot of hospitals...🤷
From what I've been told about the new iht regulations, the allowance is 1 million per business partner. Richard you mentioned your dad and uncle, that would be 2 million allowance. Give accountance and solicitors a week or two and rhey will have a plan to mitigate the worst if the new regs.
The government have confused tax avoidance with generational farming having a significant asset which is never realised. They have ducked the issue and our food security is diminished as people like yourself find themselves having to sell land which will move from what we enjoy watching here in to the hands of corporate entities looking for an easy buck. Best of luck and thanks for posting in what is clearly a confusing and unsettling time for you all.
@@timwilkinson8023 it will get to the point where there’s no fun in farming anymore, I mean it’s the worst industry for debt suicide and accidents as it is , farming needs to make a bit of profit to keep everyone sane 😕
I think the Labour Government should have kept the exemption for Farm IHT exemption. It does not make sense to break up or lose farms, a lot of farmers will be considering their options post budget is it worthwhile to plough on literally in this cold house environment created by the Government. Sad times . Money has to come from somewhere I suppose and I believe there will be other tax raids later on when they think things have settled a little. Good to see the Claas back in action.
I always say the value of the farm is irrelevant while you own it because all it is is an access to a lifestyle. I think the government presume we make profits in line with normal businesses
In parts of Europe they paying the next generation to stay involved in farming so worried are governments about having no-one left on the land.while over here this shower will achieve this ambition with stroke of a pen.
For that type of road why spend £450k on a bridge like that. I agree wouldn’t need to spend half that and put in a larger diameter rectangular concrete pipe.
Iht tax should be exempt up to 5 or 6 million its needed to stop these non farming entrepreneurs buying up large tracks of land normal farmer's cannot compete with some of these rich elite
That’s what I said it should be capped at 6-8 million that’s the average family farm around here now with 800 acre and livestock with 2 or 3 generations still involved
@@Phil-dovefarms iwas just taking a wild guess at where it would need to be you could be closer the devil will be in the detail which I suspect has not been made up yet!
@@nwhitten7306 also that would give room for a smaller farm to buy bit of land and expand for the next generation to be able to stay on the farm which is what Richard and others have done over the years 👍
There are so many examples of way over priced jobs, as you say roads closed for excessive periods of time. By law you have to be insured, that should be at cost then, make it cheaper next year if you've not claimed. Education is indoctrination in many cases like the climate and sex Ed. Planning they do a they like but you can't. Kent Council have or are going to put up a solar farm in Somerset, how on earth is that the case? Who was asked?
Sorry for the theme, but don't you think that with mental health a big subject in farming at the moment, do you think some older farmers commit suicide before the new tax begins , so that the farm which has been in the family for generations continues in the family
Oh right, yes its very worrying and heartbreaking really we're in the same situation. I don't think we'll get them to change there minds, but we need support from everyone to get behind us to try and change this

As usual spot on with your observations on government spending from a hard working farmer 👏

Average age of farmers in uk around 60 this will really help encourage young people to become involved in the farm
You are appreciated more than you know
A farm is simply a job that it passed on to the next generation who is stupid enough to to work 7 days a week, I feel sick after watching the budget
I can remember my grandfather and an old boss of mine both saying Labour don't want Britain to have an Agricultural industry even though in past we helped to feed the world
Do not panic, learn the trust system, i will help if needed free of charge, i need food as does every other human
Us folk that graft hard for a living are all fed up of what's happening labour was for the workers but not anymore.
Enjoyed your video.
Now is the time for a revolution

Let’s hope this I H T situation gets sorted out quickly Council’s over spend on a lot of jobs. Disgusting no appreciation of money values

I work on large road construction jobs and it seems to be the norm now to spend one million on the ecology. This country has lost the plot 😢
Shambolic budget by a load of make believe nits 😊
It time to block a few roads

Yes It’s a worry , also farmer not sleeping with worry or going into the unknown and having accidents at work, worrying times
There's been a few this week.
If a farmer has children that won't farm together farm is half each and then the tax on top
Is phil your brother?
No I work there, worrying times though for how long if Richard has to sell land and stock 😢
