In response to Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Budget which has left many small family farms feeling uncertain about their future, national agricultural publication Farmers Guardian has launched a new campaign to back Britain's family farms

Sarah Baker, AHDB head of economics, said: "These changes may encourage farmers to think about succession earlier than they would otherwise. For example, there is a seven-year rule which applies in the case of land transfers. This means that any land gifted to an individual will be free of inheritance tax after seven years."
