Farmers urged to prepare for multi-hazard weather event of high winds, snow and heavy rain

NFU Mutual said farmers who die after age 75 could see a total tax charge of 67% following the Autumn Budget, with pensions set to be included in the Inheritance Tax calculation from April 2027

"Safety for farmers, family members and workers should always be the number one priority. And while fully understanding the pressures farmers are under, it is vital they avoid taking risks which could lead to injury or fatalities"

Government figures show 70% more fatalities occur on rural roads than on urban highways

"Farmers are currently facing a whole raft of challenges and we know it’s a difficult time for so many families, so it’s vital our funding goes to where it will make the most impact"

"We now have land where we can no longer graze livestock due to dog attacks"

Is education the answer to solving livestock worrying? Or is there still a lack of respect shown from dog owners?

"GPS units are essential for UK farming and as we all like eating, drinking and wearing clothes, this piece of kit is important to every single one of us"

GPS thefts reported to NFU Mutual had increased by 137% in 2023, costing farmers an estimated £4.2 million
