When we pass Neville's farm at Lingy Hill his young cows are sometimes on the road. The toll to get further along is a nose stroke. This is 'Temptation' sniffing my hand.

The #joy of working in #archives. On Tuesday I found a reference to on Mr Crapper selling land to be used as part of Walsall’s sewage farm. Today I found a Henry Bladder providing horses, labour, and tools to the sewage farm at Malvern. Writing the #history of #NineteenthCentury #sewage #farming is proving more colourful than even I imagined! #EnvHist

A study (using HMRC data) suggest that the Inheritance Tax changes, while having some impact on smaller farms, will not force most family farms to be sold to pay IHT.
It shows one of its author' notes 'the government’s reform largely protects family farms whilst limiting claims [for tax relief] by the wealthiest estates'
As many suspected the claims by the farming lobby that family farms would be devastated is at best exaggerated, with Labour's claims largely vindicated!
