The Chancellor’s budget is a disaster for tenant farmers. Small family-owned farms will be hit by the changes to inheritance tax and will be forced to sell up, with young people robbed of their opportunity to farm. We’ll be fighting tooth and nail to protect family farms.

Ready to meet TFA members in Cambridge for important discussions #Budget #TenantFarmingCommissioner #Solar #SupplyChain

Huge thanks to Daniel Zeichner & James Murray for meeting me today to listen to concerns of TFA about the unintended consequences of the Budget announcements on the let farm sector. Obviously, no promises given but happy to have agreement that dialogue continues.

Wise words from Baroness Kate Rock in this week’s Farmers Guardian on the real risk faced by tenant farmers. Will common sense prevail HM Treasury ? #RockReview #OvenReadySolution #APR #IHT

Really important in this talk of the Budget not to lose track of the impact on tenant farmers. Kate Rock makes some great points

If you own your farm and choose to diversify into #solar this brings huge💰rewards. The exact opposite is true for TFA where schemes can spell immediate disaster. It is vital all stakeholders recognise that divide. George Dunn Tom Bradshaw Ed Miliband The Telegraph

Another landlord tells me how they will have to respond to the HM Treasury IHT changes. Landlords letting on long term or secure farm tenancies must continue to be allowed full IHT relief.

Kate Rock talking so much sense in Farmers Guardian. Proud to know Kate since we were teenagers together in Dorset. Her surname is so apt...she is a 'rock' for tenant farmers. Never have her recommendations in The Rock Review been more important. TFA George Dunn

Our Executive Committee had a very productive hour with Defra UK Minister of State Daniel Zeichner in London today. Very grateful for his positive engagement.
