    I was moved to tears watching this video. We all need to support the farmers. They are our food. Imports can be stopped by other countries if and when and they can charge what they want if there is no option

    Imagine a horrible situation hypothetically your father passes away and you inherit the farm, you have to sell 20% of your farm to pay the tax, then for some reason you pass away your son will end up in the same situation again.. we need to take on our governments head on, it's our land.. Farmers across Europe must unite.. if those recent protests across Europe where joined up our governments would have to listen.. WE HOLD THE POWER, we just need to grasp it.. support from Ireland ✌

      A friend’s grandfather dies and the farm went to his wife then shortly afterwards she died and the two sons had to split the remnants but after two lots of Inheritance tax had taken most of it. They did then allow the passing between spouse were exempt but it appears to be going back to the same time. Tax is theft taken from what you work for which is taxed and they want everything from what you worked for.

      You need to get a life mate, wait till you see kids dying of cancer because they can’t afford £6000 for treatment and your crying because a farmer has to pay tax on anything over a million in two years time? Give your stupid inane head a shake.

    The whole agricultural supply chain and rural economy are been subjected to unnecessary discrimination on a scale un seen before.

    Hey Richard. I’m sorry to hear about how this is affecting you and your family. Across the U.K. farmers have been getting shafted for a while and now it’s got to this stage…
    It’s ridiculous that due to Government incompetence regular folk need to pay the price. It’s blatant theft as is all taxation. But this inheritance tax is absolutely disgusting.

Same with TB - not an infectious disease caused by badgers etc (it's caused by toxic exposure which makes cows sick) but gives the government the right to control your farm and drives pharma sales also.

  • @GeoffreyMoore-i9k
    @GeoffreyMoore-i9k 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +7

    Richard I really feel for you
    As you know I watch a lot of youtube farmer's, I appreciate it's a way of life, with all the challenges and restrictions thrown at farmer's, at the end of the day a manufacturing business that experiences production increases, pass those costs onto their customers, so they can maintain a profit
    You guy's are basically told what you can sell your product at regardless of increases or weather conditions, hence your asset was protected from these taxes
    I fear, from all the recent policies, our government, regardless of political party, it's the civil servants that decide the muppets in parliament are just puppets, having their strings pulled. My point is, with environmental policies, ignoring flooding issues, paying for rewilding or bird feed over human food, passing planning on agricultural land for solar, wind, construction of retail outlets, housing and industrial estates, I fear our government want to demolish farming in favour of imports, so they can get their hands on import taxes
    God help our food security, knowing we already can't feed our population, if another Ukraine situation were to arise, another conflict, will it be too late to call on our farmer's as we did during WW1 and WW2
    The thanks for generations of feeding this country is to kill agriculture
    I hope NFU will actually UNITE the farmer's to fight this policy but also to explain to the populous what this all means so you get the public backing you all deserve
    Geoff

    • @yorkshirefarming
      @yorkshirefarming  2 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Geoff, thank you for your thoughtful and insightful comment. It's disheartening to see the challenges we face as farmers, especially with the increasing regulatory burden and the lack of control over our own livelihoods.
      You're absolutely right about the impact of environmental policies and the push for renewable energy. While these are important issues, we need a balanced approach that doesn't jeopardize food security. It's frustrating to see farmland being converted for other uses, while farmers are struggling to make ends meet.
      We, as farmers, are often caught in a difficult position. We're expected to be stewards of the environment, provide food for the nation, and maintain a profitable business. It's a tall order, and the current policies make it even more challenging.
      I hope that the NFU will continue to advocate for our interests and that the public will support us in our efforts to ensure a sustainable future for British agriculture. Thank you again for your support.

    Hi Richard, I am a farmer in a similar situation. We will have to sell land, or take on debt that the farm earning couldn't service. I think it is also worth mentioning all family businesses will also be affected whatever industry they are in. They will also have to sell their businesses, no doubt with job losses.

  • @paulwarrilow3427
    @paulwarrilow3427 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

    Non farmer here but I have worked in the industry, I understand exactly how farms work and why this is a big issue. I hope something can be done and I will be supporting you all as much as I can. Stay strong and just see how this plays out over the next few weeks. Food security was a big thing a while back, what happened to that, we all need to eat and if the world goes even madder than it is now with trade restrictions etc or more wars then food imports could dry up, then what happens?? The UK should be able to grow enough food for itself. The last thing we need is to lose all the knowledge that all you farmers have, how crops grow in your area etc etc. This is a huge issue and should be treated as such by those in power.

My Grandfather was a farmer & l remember how hard he worked from dawn to dusk with little personal reward most of his earnings went back into the Farm. I don't think most people realise the cost of tractors, Harvestes etc l would think the farm implements alone would be worth a million.

    It deeply saddens me that farmers are being persecuted for hard work and dedication to our food production. Treating production as a charity is out of order. I value every family working the land. Trying to grow in a garden is so hard, digging, planting and hoping. Raw miilk was what my mom drank. I had no idea how different it is to processed milk. My father & grandfather were butchers, so I met lots of farmers, such wonderful people, always welcomed with cake & cupper. Take politics out of food production. health, & education. Let us raise standards and joy in our population. Respect & love to you. Prayers for all farmers, let this ruling be scrapped. Love to you

    Hi Richard, I feel for farmers, all employers and British people that work to earn a living. This budget may work on paper in the government eyes, but in reality the economy will shrink and the UK debt will grow. The way forward, which we can learn from history, is put the Great back in Britain by producing home grown food, make quality products in this country again. Buy British, economy grows, the UK debt shrinks plus Britain has more control of its destiny.
    The Government need to learn from the high energy cost we all had to pay (still pay) when our imported gas price shot up. The only thing that saved us from higher costs was that 50% of the UK’s electricity comes from UK Solar PV, Wind Farms, Turbines, Farm Anaerobic Digestor Plants and Nuclear Power!

WE THE FARMERS do not earned COLOSSAL AMOUNT OF CASH!!What we earned goes back to the farm the equipment /machinery we used and bills are chasing if some machineries faulty. The HUGE TAX we have paid every year still not enough for them! YES, where the heck on earth we will get that huge amount of CASH TO PAY for that IHT THE GOVERNMENT asking from us FARMERS! I rented a patch of land so I can put more stocks but if the only option is to sell a patch of land and to think you're giving it away it's depressing!!No holidays just to save money for the farm, works 24/7 and if only this humanly body of a bloody farmer can go on working for 24hours without stopping we surely be doing so just to keep the farm in very well conditioned!!!!! And now this morning as I am going to livestock market my wife hand me £10.00 cash and she said go and eat lovely dinner at the market[as I always go home to eat as I am saving every penny ] before you save it for the farm and if ,it will only be going to an inheritance tax better you used it ,than your just wasting it by giving it away!

    My heart goes out to you and your family John. Sadly this will not be solved by you selling 20% of the farm to pay the tax because when you sell the property it will be liable to capital gains tax of an additional 40%. same goes for any other substantial asset such as the farm house. With all the Taxes aimed at your family over the generation swop you are looking at 66% as a rough calculation. Coupled with the fact that farmers suffer greatly from suicide cases it boggles the mind why anyone would bind their children into this same profession. I come from a farming family myself and can say there are a few ways to protect some assets to you, but it takes a lot of legal expense and many many years. If your dad is 87, he doesnt have that time left. The farm needs something more drastic perhaps transfer into a trust created direct to the grandson may be possible. You and your dad need to get in to talk to a good reputable solicitor pronto. or a hundred years of toil sweat and blood will be thrown to the dogs. Everyone knows that old saying beware the man with squeaky shoes. Research, learn, get switched on and most important, never ever give in.

    Starmer is a big follower of the WEF and will do whatever they want and what they want is no farms in the hands of the public and only food produced by the government. There are already acts in place, brought in without any debate and these basically give the government the rights to grow/produce food in their factories etc, available to view on line

    I am not a farmer but have have spent a major part of my working life involved with farming from a finance point of view.
    I cannot think of many farms that are able to pay the sort of tax now bandied about on the event of a family member passing away. A part of the farm would have to be sold to pay the tax, reducing the ability of the farm to maintain itself for the future.
    This will be the death knell of a lot of farms.
    It would be good to organise a strong protest along the lines of our french cousins eventually hoping that common sense would prevail. If not then I would suggest that the country may well go hungry, realising that there is only a finite amount of cash that can be realised.
    Hopefully the well known farming union can organise the necessary demonstrations around the country to show the depth of feeling and resolve that will be shown. Let us see…

    If you sell your farm they get you for capital gains tax. I cannot understand in these times of potential war the uk is not supporting farmers. We need to be producing are own food. Instead we cover productive land with solar panels and rewilding, its utter bollocks. Farming should be the backbone of this country. Clarkson should be pm

    I'm 5th Gen in north cumbria, grandad and dad passed in. 2009/2010. I was working in another sector and had to go part time to save our farm for the future. I'm a 25% partner with my ageing mother, but all my farm income goes back to the farm, I was hoping my kids could create a future from this, but with the house and farm buildings valued at 1 mill. (Coz of richer people buying things up) then 130 acres on top, I'll need to find 200k/300k to pass this on. Impossible.. the land will be bought by big conglomerates/internationals or whatever. End of a century.... at least I have a pension?? Own nothing and be happy....

    I am not an expert, but on a £5m farm for a married couple, wouldn't the first £3m would be tax exempt (£1m for married couple IHT allowance inc. home, £1m each for farmer IHT) when both die. So that leaves £2m liable for IHT at 50% tax relief = 20% of £2m = 400k. You can pay this over 10 years (with interest added) = 40k a year + interest (not sure what the interest rate is?). It is still a stupid tax though and it will have a detrimental affect on UK farmers. It is basically a Jeremy Clarkson tax even though it only applies to a working farm (2yrs+).

    The first responsibility of Government is the security of it's citizens. If the small farmers are driven out of business our food security will be very badly impacted and the UK will become vulnerable to whomever we import our food from. Do you trust the EU, the USA or countries even less friendly to not use our vulnerability against us? This will come back to bite us in the a$$. Mr Silliband is wanting to make the UK net zero (which is, in itself, making the UK uncompetitive as we're doing it before everyone else although it seems that his brother will profit very nicely) how is moving all food production hundreds if not thousands of miles away going to help with that?

    • @yorkshirefarming
      @yorkshirefarming  วันที่ผ่านมา

      You raise some very valid points about food security and the potential risks involved in relying on imports. It's crucial for the government to prioritize the stability of local agriculture to ensure the well-being of its citizens.

    Coming from a long generation of farmers myself I can see this new taxation causing a domino effect down future generations to the extent that all farms will be smallholdings. The general public and the powers that be seem so oblivious to food security and how fragile it can be considering all the conflict in the world. Such as Ukrainian wheat and sunflower, not to mention the fruit & veg from Isreal.
    My own grandparents were heavily involved with food production in WW2 even going to the lengths of plowing public parks in Harrogate and Leeds to grow cereals and potatoes . So you don’t have to look too far back to see how desperate they need you when the s..t hits the fan.
    It’s going to involve a lot of clever tax lawyers to help with this if it can’t be reversed or heavily revised somehow.
    Good luck to you all.

    Everyone else has to pay it why not farmers ? Farmers nil rate band is 1 million and 20% tax - ours is £325,000 and 40% tax ... just for one moment farmers think about how WE feel about IHT. IHT should be 3-5 million nil rate band across the board if it can be justified at all that is. The tax forces us all to sell in order to pay it.

    Whats happens if you bury your family members on the farm land and make part of it a cemetery like the church one they have buried loved ones would that make your farm dynistic wealth? And then like the Church it would be tax free indefinitely? Also what would happen if you deregistered your farm it would prevent the government from inposing anymore taxes. I'm studying the difference between the legalese government and the natrual common law. To register a house, land, vechile, it means to give up. I would look in to the blacks law and the strawman birth certificate. I'm not adviser or any kind of professional but my research has shown me that government of the U.K are a corporation and that the house of parliament is a house commerce. We're tied to the birth certificate the starwman until we claim our title back.

    Hi I am a small farmer , I have 3 grown children I would have loved one of them to have come on the farm but thank god none of them have . I am only 60 acres so may be out side the tax . But you can't afford to buy any machinery to farm 60 acres so when I pass on [74] the farm will I expect become a reweeding[rewilding] none food producing mess.
