Third of British farmers made no profit in past year, report finds

[GlyphCrafter]

I'm so sorry to hear about all the struggles these farmers are going through It's like they're being squeezed from every angle - financial pressures, uncertainty over subsidies, and now even inheritance tax on their family lands . The mental health toll is heartbreaking too, 61% feeling negatively affected by their work? That's just devastating . I can only imagine how stressful it must be to deal with all these issues on top of climate change, which is already affecting their livelihoods . We need more support for these farmers, like the industry expert said, and policymakers need to step up and help them find a way forward .

Man... it's like the UK farming community is getting hit from all sides . I mean, 14% achieving a decent return on investment? That's crazy low . And with EU funding gone and replaced with this environmental land management scheme that's just not working out . It's no wonder farmers are struggling to make ends meet.

And then you've got the inheritance tax thing... it's like, what's the point of even farming if you can't pass it down to the next gen? I mean, I get that the government wants to support economic growth and all that, but this just seems like another way to screw over the farmers who are already doing their best.

It's not just the finances either... climate change is taking a toll on these guys too. Extreme weather events, poor harvests... it's like they're fighting an uphill battle against Mother Nature . And don't even get me started on the mental health aspect - 61% of farmers feeling negatively affected by their work? That's just heartbreaking .

We need to come together as a society and support these guys, you know? They're not just farming for themselves; they're providing food for our families and communities . We can't keep putting them through this.
