SAVE BRITAIN'S FAMILY FARMS

Advice and support to help you with changes to IHT

Farmers Guardian's Save Britain's Family Farms campaign aims to help the industry navigate through the Inheritance Tax changes taking place in April 2026, providing the sector with expert advice and analysis and political updates.

Save Britain's Family Farms is about showcasing the vital role of farming to the wider public, and the impact it has on society including landscape management, jobs, education, climate change, habitat restoration and food production.

For over 180 years Farmers Guardian has campaigned and stood up for farming and will continue to challenge the Government on policies that impact agriculture.
