It's not just the inheritance tax.
Nor is it just the overwhelming and suffocating regulations.
It's everything together that's making small-scale (and even larger-scale) farming next to impossible in the UK.
The UK is a warning signal for American farmers. Where will policy go from here? How can we mitigate the worst of the oppressive policies? What is the impact of a fully centralized system on our personal food security?
Helen Freeman shares about what's happening and we discuss ways to impact and influence the results.
