From new NFU analysis challenging the Treasury's figures on Agricultural Property Relief to a close-up of the latest John Deere T6 700 - these are five farming stories not to miss this week on FG
The NFU said their campaign to overturn the family farm tax has attracted an increase of 50,000 signatures over just two days in the lead-up to and after the NFU's mass lobby of MPs in Westminster this week
The NFU said the Government's initial claim that only 27% of farms will be affected by the new IHT policy 'materially underestimates the true proportion'. Their analysis found 'around 75% of commercial family farms will be above the £1 million threshold'
NFU deputy president David Exwood said it was ‘very clear that tenants will be impacted' by the Government's IHT proposals
NFU president Tom Bradshaw said the situation around Inheritance Tax changes will be only be resolved by sitting down with the Chancellor Rachel Reeves ‘but at the moment she is refusing to meet with us'

Mr Bradshaw is expected to say: "I do not think I have ever seen the industry this angry, this disillusioned and this upset. And given what we have had to be angry about in recent years that is saying something"
Nick von Westenholz said ‘a new challenge beckons, and the GWCT is an amazing organisation at the forefront of so many of the issues facing land managers right now
"It's a brilliant idea, and I think we can go wider than this by getting the message across to workplaces too"
Director at Rostons Tony Rimmer says 'now is the time for unity' in our industry
