Chair of the Committee @amcarmichaelMP reacts to the news that @defragovuk is stopping accepting new Sustainable Farming Incentive (#SFI) applications 👇
Stop the uk I want to get off Country side and family business in tatters MPs loosing seats Farmers taking there lives And some one wins a award 😡 @loosecollie @wheat_daddy @TWBFarms @FarmersWeekly @JeremyClarkson @FarmersGuardian
With extreme heat and the dryest spring/summer for over 100years in many parts of the England. Grazing livestock and conserving forage is extremely difficult @theRPA @DefraGovUK please make general derogation for grazing options on CS SFI HLS.This is a partnership be a partner.
Question. How much more will it take for the treasury to clean their ears out and listen? Because they’re entrenched pretending it’s political, it’s not, this is cross party condemnation of a cruel tax, that can be easily amended to raise the same revenue without the human cost
We've published a report on the Government's Vision for Farming 👇
This article underlines the key issue with the #FamilyFarmTax, in that just like Lord Foulkes clearly hasn't met the protestors or sat across the kitchen table with them, I strongly suspect the policy was locked into the Red Book before anyone who has ever been exposed to…
On Tuesday at 2.30, we’re holding a session on biosecurity at the border. We’ll be talking to @DefraGovUK officials about: - outbreaks of foot and mouth disease in Europe - bans on personal imports of EU meat and dairy. - commercial import controls on animal and plant products
Theres so much politics around cows but it’s really simple. British beef is sustainable and an essential part of mixed farming. People want to buy it and it’s part of a healthy diet. Government should support farmers in trade deals. #BritishBeefWeek
🗣️ “What’s not acceptable is that decent, honest, hardworking families can’t carry on producing food…” ❌🌽 Fifth-generation farmer @wise_chapman says the Government needs to consider a ‘clawback option’ as a middle ground in the current IHT fight. 🪧🚨 WATCH THE FULL IHT…
Please do this survey, so important to highlight the mental impact of this massive cheese dream of government decisions
Let’s show the Government (and those who perhaps don’t understand) the impact its changes have had on farming since the Budget. Ahead of the Spring Statement, we want to know how you felt about the future of your farming business pre-Budget vs now 👇🏻farmersguardian.com/news/4410841/m…
Today we did a thing!
NFU North Riding and Durham members have been at Durham County Hall today, where @DurhamCouncil voted unanimously to back farmers and to write to the government on their behalf. Hear from North Riding and Durham County Chair Clare Wise below ⬇️⬇️⬇️ @NFUtweets
Nothing better than happy lambs safe after a frosty night. Hang onto the little joys that outlast the other rubbish
I’m fairly apolitical usually but here’s a wonderful idea, a farming minister who actually gets farming, wouldn’t that be a breath of fresh air right now!!!
To all our farmers. I stand with you.
Excellent explanation of why British farms have become highly efficient over the past00s but that hasn’t been reflected in market prices as subsides have kept food cheap for the nation. This isn’t a situation the market simply fixes without causing food poverty for millions!!
Fascinating 👀 that when @petercardwell points out to #brexit @iealondon economist @julianHjessop that he’s on the same side as Labour @DanielZeichner, he changes his position and is worried that govt is just picking on farmers. Well done @OliFletcher 🙌
Exclusive: UK farmers’ incomes stagnant since the 1970s, report finds theguardian.com/environment/20…
THANK YOU everyone who sent messages of support after yesterday’s post. You’ll never know what a mental boost public support is. Please keep telling farmers they matter. We are so proud to feed you all! @NFUtweets @FarmersGuardian @ProagriLtd
I finally understand the miners’ utter hatred of a govt and the generational refusal to ever vote for them again. Congratulations @SteveReedMP @Keir_Starmer your heartless destruction of rural communities has utterly betrayed your rural MPs, they and us deserve better @NFUtweets
5 years ago we as farmers were classed as essential workers, essential to the running of the country, essential to every day life. What’s changed? Talk of military help needed in Ukraine. Foot and Mouth outbreaks in Europe. World leaders not on the same pages. Food security?
