Farmers from across the UK have descended on Westminster to tell the new Government what they are doing to them through changes to Agricultural Property Relief and Inheritance Tax will mark the end of 'Family Farming' as we know it.

As MP for a profoundly rural part of Norfolk, coming from a farming family and as a former adviser to the NFU I am appalled by the outrageous tax attack on family farms in last weeks Budget.

The government risks breaching its manifesto promises if it cuts the £100m from the Environment Land Management Scheme (Elms) which encourages greener land management.

35 years ago when I worked at the NFU, the mad EU Common Agricultural Policy was generating huge surpluses of unwanted food and was calling for a switch to subsidise lower production.

I was delighted to visit Peels Farm in Rocklands again this past week to meet with members of the local Mid Norfolk NFU and discuss a range of issues.

Following the Prime Minister’s announcement of a Net Zero reset, please see my statement setting out my thoughts.

t was a pleasure to return to JE Spratt Farm at Necton this past Friday to meet with the team, representatives of British Sugar and the NFU, and discuss the Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Bill.

Farming is a backbone of our rural Mid Norfolk communities. Indeed, having grown up on my step-father’s farm and with my first job being with the NFU, it is a way of life particularly close to my heart.
