Farmer Focus: My forebears did not buy land to avoid tax

Nov 13, 2024 | fwi.co.uk | Andy Barr

Andy Barr © MAG/Colin Miller “That is a promise made and a promise fulfilled” repeated the chancellor in the recent Budget, but when it came to agricultural inheritance tax it was a promise made and a promise broken. I sat there with my mouth open and my mind trying to recover from the mental punch it had just received. We have spent years planning ahead, taking a lot of costly advice, and ultimately transferring land, but it’s not that straightforward.

Nov 4, 2024 | newsweek.com | Elise Stefanik |Andy Barr

CLOSE X Share✓ Link copied to clipboard! Under the Biden-Harris Administration, there has been an unconstitutional and relentless attack on the Second Amendment rights and privacies of American citizens. In September 2023, gun-grabbing organizations and far Left politicians including New York Attorney General Letitia James cheered on the creation of a new Merchant Category Code (MCC) for firearms retailers within the payment processing system.
Farmer Focus: Farming nostalgia and an archaeological dig

Oct 9, 2024 | fwi.co.uk | Andy Barr

Fresh from slugs invading my patio, nature has found another way of reminding me that it’s definitely wet with a generous sprinkling of mushrooms now thriving in my lawn. It only seems a heartbeat away that it was too dry to plant oilseed rape to it now being too wet to drill wheat. Oilseed rape growth has been aided by a hail of slug pellets and the marked reduction in cabbage stem flea beetle this year.
Farmer Focus: Mass slug gatherings and a straw rollercoaster

Sep 6, 2024 | fwi.co.uk | Andy Barr

We sowed our oilseed rape midway through August. This was contrary to some advice that mid-September plantings have been giving the best yields and missing most flea beetle. My reasoning is that it worked well for us this year (absolutely no guarantee of future success in farming, I know) when backed up with several mono-silicic acid treatments.

Farmer Focus: OSR yields return to pre-flea beetle levels

Jul 31, 2024 | fwi.co.uk | Andy Barr

Andy Barr © MAG/Colin Miller Our harvest kick-started earlier than usual with a crop of oilseed rape on some of our sandy land. We were then rudely interrupted a few hours later by a worryingly heavy and prolonged downpour. However, a couple of drying days later it did turn out to yield back at pre-flea beetle levels with, what seemed to me, noticeably less adults in the grain store.
