The IHT changes announced in the budget will have a wide-spread impact on British food production - not just farm and land owners. It will affect the whole industry - from tenant farmers to agronomists, from feed merchants to farm vets. Not only this, food prices will likely rise.

It has been a difficult week for the farming industry and we are really feeling for a lot of you out there.

The announcement in last week's budget with the drastic change to IHT reliefs together with the cap on delinked payments after a couple of really difficult harvests and wide-spread stock disease issues is a real blow.

On a sunnier note, the Government has set aside £2.4billion for DEFRA who are continuing with pushing Environmental Land Management Schemes including SFI agreements. It is well worth looking into those if you haven't already.

Lastly, you may have received a welcome surprise email this morning from the RPA with a Recovery Fund payment. The extreme wet weather of winter 23/24 has resulted in a one-off payment to around 13,000 farm businesses to help them restore farmland following flooding and high rainfall. Payment of this will be made within 28 days of receiving that email.

We're pleased to launch this fantastic, ring fenced parcel of 19 acres of arable land onto the market.

Situated on the edge of the village of Weston Lullingfields, just north of Baschurch, the land is currently down to a herbal ley but has a wide variety of uses. Guide price: £187,500.
