Putting my personal views on the whole inheritance tax debate aside, I don't understand the logic in annoying the people you are trying to get on-side..
Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil tried it and (IMO) alienated the majority of the public, who now just think they are irritating berks. May have worked historically but I can't see these tactics working in the society we live in today.
If anything, the climate change activists were more likely to be supported as their protests are for a (largely) selfless cause. |  |

Queued up behind a tractor that cost in excess of half a million makes you wonder.

Just as a matter of interest how much do you think a tractor or combine should cost? | | | |

It all seems to be ideological, more than anything else.
I read somewhere that a good chunk of the IHT hit can be avoided by setting the farm up as a Limited Company. But I suppose that wouldn't let the majority Tory/Reform-supporting farmers have a pop at the Labour government. | |

The world produces more than enough to feed us.
1/3 of it is thrown away. |  | | |

Excessive of course but if the model and make can be shown we can find out what it really cost. | | | |

This - we’ve already exported out energy security- that went well. People would soon be raging if global food shortages caused prices to go through the roof. We should be as self-sufficient as possible, COVID exposed how fragile supply chains are, and BREXIT, Ukraine/Middle East how we are at the mercy of price shocks on imports. We’ll see more crop failures in the future driven by climate change.
Whatever your thoughts on farmers, inheritance tax, tractor prices, losing our domestic agriculture and food production is insanity. | | | |

Could never understand why they were exempt from inheritance tax in the first place. Just bought them in line with everyone else. Farmers have been taking the p for years, what with subsidies panda being paid not to grow stuff. |  |

Most expensive tractor I could find is a John Deere quad track ranging from £250-450,I don think one of those were trundling along the A14 | | | |

I can't imagine why a tory government gave them that IHT concession in the first place.
Oh yes, actually I can. |  |

If the sub-set of farmers who are protesting give up farming, it will have no effect on food production. Big agri-business firms will buy farms. Major landowners will always find new tenants. | |

I don’t see why they should get concessions that other businesses don’t. Simple as that. |  |

Why do you think we’re suddenly going to be short of food if farmers’ descendants have to pay inheritance tax like the rest of us (although not like the rest of us - they’re still getting a much higher threshold than the base level). | |

It's funny how farmers so keen on continuing to produce food don't mention how much land they sell - voluntarily - for housing, isn't it? | |

I watched it all from the opposite side of the A14. It looked splendid, and didn't impact me so I have no issues with it. 😁 [Post edited 3 Feb 19:25]

The price of wheat is £170 practically the same as it was 25 years ago. With inflation it should be nearly £350. If people laid what food is worth people wouldn't have to sell there tools to stay afloat. | | | |

I wonder why Farmers who seem super keen to grow food, are super quick to rent their fields to solar companys. | | | |
