Happy birthday to Farmer Fi! 🎈🥳 26 today and a sprinkling of snow to celebrate ☃️❄️✨

The hardest working farmer in all hours and all weathers - she’s got muscles, mechanicals skills and loves farm mayhem 💪🏻🤪 In the last year Fi has really moved the farm forward with a new grain shed, first solo harvest and basically a TV celeb at this point! 🚜🎥 Proud of you sis ♥️

SAVE OUR FAMILY FARMS 🇬🇧🚜 We stand with

SAVE OUR FAMILY FARMS 🇬🇧🚜

We stand with the 40,000 farmers campaigning in London today who have peacefully protested against the budget attack.

Farming is our livelihood and has been in our family for 4 generations. Over the last few years, as we (Alison & Fiona) have taken on more farm responsibility, we have diversified the farm to give the local public an insight into farm life. We have been so grateful for your overwhelming support and want to use our platform to help you understand the reality of the proposed changes…

From April 2026, farms worth over the value of £1 million will face a 20% Inheritance Tax Bill on all agricultural assets. The government argue that just a minority of farmers will be impacted, but we believe it will be the majority of farmers. The reality is farming is an asset rich, and cash poor business - and the running of the farm to feed the nation requires land, machinery, labour all whilst been crippled by rising costs of feed, fertiliser and energy bills. Margins in farming are notoriously low (operating on less than 1% return on capital), and it’s done through a labour of love and not a drive for profit. The latest changes will push family farms out of farming as they simply can’t afford to pass down to the next generation, without selling a proportion of their farm to pay this proposed tax bill, making the future of family farming unviable.

For those who can, we would be so grateful if you could sign the NFU’s petition to urge the government to reverse this inheritance tax change: https://www.campaigns.nfuonline.com/page/160300/petition/1?locale=en-GB

Please stand with us and support our British farmers who feed the nation and work tirelessly in all weathers and around the clock ♥️🙏🏻

SAVE OUR FAMILY FARMS 🤍

We are calling for the government to urgently re-evaluate their decision to impose a threshold on the value of assets which inheritance tax applies to.

Tomorrow 1,800 farmers will be meeting with MPs for a mass lobby and over 10,000 farmers are planning to meet in London to discuss the future of farming.

Fiona will be on radio 5’s wake up to money at 5am. Please support us as we attempt to tackle the governments attack on rural communities 💪🏼
