A councillor said his farm, which has been around for 300 years, 'might come to an end'
Dozens of Nottinghamshire farmers will join a protest in London following Rachel Reeve's inheritance tax changes announced during the Budget. A group of 150 farmers from Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire will descend on the streets of Westminster in response to the government's "savage attack".
Simon Orson, a Leicestershire councillor whose farm extends across both Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire, has organised the group formed of 150 farmers to go down to the capital. Thousands of farmers from all over the country are expected at the protest organised by the National Farmers' Union on Tuesday, November 19.
"Rachel Reeves' Budget will probably mean that might have to come to an end because I might have to sell land to pay for the inheritance tax bill which means my farm will be not quite as viable. They also announced delinked payments were going to be slashed, which means I'm down thousands of pounds.
