YOU ABSOLUTE LEGENDS. 👏👏

Staff at London food bank City Harvest say they have been “overwhelmed” by large amounts of food donated by British farmers.

Today we stand alongside tens of thousands of fellow farmers in London. We have not taken the decision to protest lightly but in order to protect our next generation to farm at Poplars Farm we feel it’s our duty.

The media will no doubt put their slant on today’s events so in a very over simplified nutshell this is our personal situation….

We will be hit with 20% inheritance tax on assets over £1m. Which may sound a lot but our machinery alone accounts for 1/2 of that. Then there is the value of the farmhouse, sheds, farm land etc etc so the tax bill we will hand on to our children will be virtually insurmountable.

To give context…the price of wheat in 1990 was approx £120 per tonne, today 35 YEARS LATER it’s little over £50 more than that. Yet the cost for us to produce that tonne of wheat in terms of fuel, fertiliser, labour etc has rocketed.

This is not about “farmers, just pay your tax, like everybody else does”…..we already pay our fair share of tax.

Many years we do not break even on the farm & we will pass an overdraft ending in many zeros on to our children. They simply cannot afford to pay this added Inheritance Tax & therefore be the 4th generation at Poplars Farm.

It is for the future of our family farm, food production in the UK and British Farming that we choose to join the protest today 🚜

‼️‼️🛑 This morning we walked the Cottage Farm field and we collected FIFTEEN DOG POOS 🔴‼️‼️

This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

We try very hard to maintain our fields but when people show this blatant disregard & disrespect it gives us a very limited number of options. Cottage Farm seems to be considerably worse in terms of this problem.

Last week we installed free dog poo bag dispensers in both fields.

Installing a camera to see who is not picking up after their dog & then banning those who do seems to be the only option left.
