Liberal Democrats Farmers and rural communities deserve so much better



<[link removed]>




Today, our MPs joined farmers in Westminster to call on the Government to axe
Labour’s family farm tax.

Farmers are absolutely vital to this country.

They put high quality food on our tables and look after our countryside -
without them we would all be worse off.

After years of the Conservatives taking rural communities for granted, farmers
hoped that a new government might give them the respect and care they deserve.

Instead, Labour’s tax changes threaten thousands of small family farms.

Farmers’ incomes have been hit hard in recent years.

The Conservatives’ botched deal with the EU has been a disaster for our
farmers. To make matters worse, they then signed deals with Australia and New
Zealand which undercut British farmers on animal welfare and environmental
standards.

Our research shows

that farm subsidies have fallen 20% in real terms since 2015, equivalent to
£722 million, or £3,000 for every farm.

Now, Labour’s tax changes will be a disaster for family farms.

The Chancellor must urgently rethink, scrap the family farm tax and finally
give farmers the support they deserve, not place more burdens upon them and the
rural communities that rely on them.
