James Melville, founder of No Farmers No Food, said workers are "at their wits end" over Rachel Reeve's inheritance Some campaigners have already threatened withholding meat and veggies from supermarkets for a week as a possible last resort."The main thing at the moment is right across the industry and also politically, the Lib Dems, Reform, SNP and Tories are all saying the same thing and uniting with farmers.
Gareth Wyn Jones, a Welsh farmer and YouTuber, said farmers will deliver a letter to Sir Keir which begins: "Don't bite the hand that feed you." Treasury data shows that around three-quarters of farmers will pay nothing in inheritance tax as a result of the controversial changes announced in the Budget last month.

But farmers are treated differently by a government that is waging an all-out war on the countryside.
