The Farmers Guardian Podcast: 24 Hours in Farming - a beef and arable farmer's view

In this #farm24 special, ambassador Amy Wilkinson hosts this 24 Hours in Farming episode and talks about Inheritance Tax and the possible outcome. Amy also discusses her farm, where the beef business is going well, but it is quite the opposite on the arable side. But how does all of this impact consumers and do they understand? 

Amy works on her family's tenanted farm at Halsall, Lancashire. Working mainly with her dad, Amy farms 285 hectares (704 acres) of arable crops and 550 beef cross cattle, which are all reared through to finishing.
