Difficult to do justice to all the work that the incredible team NFU Cymru 🚜 do for Welsh farmers but this video is a hugely impressive snapshot of the last year and well worth watching #wearewelshfarming #nfucymru25

Ever since the announcement of changes to Inheritance Tax, we've continued to lobby hard to #StopTheFamilyFarmTax Here are just some of the media interviews our members have done over the year, delivering their personal stories of how these changes will affect their family farms

NO IHT! This was our clear message at today's Winter Fair, on the eve of the Chancellor’s Budget announcement. It signalled the strength of feeling amongst rural communities against the UK Government’s planned changes to inheritance tax reliefs. ➑️ ow.ly/165y50XxCpN

Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi is spot on. The change made yesterday to transferrable allowances is welcomed but doesn't go far enough. We urge the Govt to listen to its backbenchers and make amendments to the Finance Bill to protect the elderly and the terminally ill. NFU Cymru 🚜

A message from our President Aled Jones NFU Cymru to Welsh MPs ahead of an important vote tonight on the IHT proposals within the Finance Bill. Tag/contact your local Labour MP and ask them to abstain from this vote.

After 14 months of NFU and NFU Cymru campaigning, the UK Government has today announced changes to the threshold for inheritance tax for family farms. These changes mark a huge victory for farmers in Wales. Aled Jones NFU Cymru Abi Reader
