NEW DEFRA stats just out. Show that in 2023/24 cereal farm incomes fell by 73% On average cereal farms made a £26k loss on their crops, only earning an income due to direct govt subsidy & non-farming activity. Even so, 1/3 of all cereals farms made a loss despite other income.

NFU president Tom Bradshaw reduced to tears in describing the human impact of family farm tax proposals during an Efra committee session today. "People (farmers) in ill health or who don't believe they will live for seven years may well decide they shouldn't be here on April 26.

Er, mostly banned since 2018 with only seed dressing on non-flowering crops (under specific circumstances) permitted. A desperate bit of PR by The Labour Party to legislate something already legislated. 🤡 How about banning imports that are treated with products banned here first?

I am at the Balmoral Show today with the Agri-Rural Health Forum. It’s great that respiratory health in rural communities has been chosen as a specific focus for the next 12 months. It was good to speak to Minister Muir about our partnership leaflet & the need to raise awareness.
