I spend many hours on farmland in East & North Yorkshire.

Had a truly ironic conversation last week with 82 year old farmer with 2 farms & 2 sons but he still owns the farms. Mostly good arable.

If the inheritance tax comes in he will owe £300,000-£400,000. Maybe his bank will cover this. Maybe not.

But - luckily for him/family - one of the farms is adjacent to a substation & the energy blob will need the land for battery storage. What can you say?
