“It Will Cause CHAOS” | Farmers Threaten To Stop Use Of Sewage Sludge
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 ноя 2024
- Farmers are threatening to halt the use of sewage sludge on their land in protest against a proposed 20% inheritance tax on estates over £1 million.
A "sewage strike" would disrupt waste management for water companies, which rely on farmers to spread 3.6 million tonnes of treated sludge yearly.
Farmers argue the tax could drive many out of business and worsen mental health issues within the industry.
Julia-Hartley Brewer speaks with Head of News and Business for the Farmers Guardian, Alex Black.

I don’t care what the farmers do. I back them on anything and everything they need to do. Labour have to go.
I don't, not with regard to using human waste as fertiliser for our food production. It cannot be right. The risk to human health from such food must be unacceptably high.
@@grahamcook9289human waste has been used as a fertiliser for thousands of years 🙄
@@grahamcook9289 I take it you didn't study biology at school?! What a CRASS post!
Are you nuts? So you would like the Torys back then.
@@grahamcook9289not really, it’s spread on cross every year and causes no problems. It’s processed and makes great fertiliser
All inheritance tax should be abolished anyway.
Here here
yea they are bought with taxed salary
Correct its theft ,to be precise its grave robbing
Taxed on taxed money , disgusting
I TOTALLY AGREE!! 👍🏻
Why the hell can’t you give what you’ve worked hard for to whomever you want when you die? All inheritance tax is just basically like being carjacked by gangstas!!
Take the sewage to number 10s doorstep.
It's already inside there.
Their private residences would be a better idea
French farmers would be on the streets playing hell !
@@Simonsimon-fy3hq Excellent lol
@@Simonsimon-fy3hqDamn I was too late, well done.
Control the food Control the people........its WEF communism its that simple
Fully support farmers, they feed us for godsake.
We need to stand with our farmers. Well, they have attacked the elderly and now the farmers. I am a middle-aged gay man. i have been on one march in my life to the antisemitism and now will do a second one for the farmers. i am getting quite militant. Well, i voted for the Tories for years and they turned out to be a shower. i voted for Reform last time but whoever voted for Labour you obviously have not looked at the history of this lot. I hope the farmers get the message they have a lot of support. Also, try buying from farmers directly. At least you have got JHB in your corner.
I have never been to a protest in my life and thinking of goign over to this one as I live in NI.
Voted reform as well as will never vote Tory again after the mess they left.
IHT is a joke as you have already paid tax and vat on everything all your life.
I have a small farm well under the threshold, but if they serious about goign after the large players make the threshold £10m.
I am a book keeper and most of my clients are farmers. Most if they had any sense would sell as they dont have and cash.
They do not as its a calling and way of life not a real business for most.
No way can they pay 20% IHT the profit is not there.
It's not just the farming industry that these idiots are destroying. They are doing the same to the oil and gas industries and the steel industry. They are killing the manufacturing sector and committing us to expensive food and energy from abroad. Meanwhile they are deliberately flooding the country with foreign criminals who they then put up in 4 star hotels. If your made this into a comedy sketch it would be hilarious, but the sad reality is that it is actually reality.
@@michaelgreen5515I used to have a farm, lost it all, long story! Worst loss of my life! I stand with farmers and best wishes to you and what I’m sure is a charming small farm!! 🖤🌹👍🏻
Be nice to see two tier covered in shite instead of listening to him spouting it.
He's probably used to it..
If you have a local farm shop. Please try to use it.
No labour voters allowed in.
I buy my meat from the farm shop, quite expensive but much better quality than the recycled crap in supermarkets.
I support with the farmers 100%. That job is 24/7 and none stop pressure and stress. They keep us alive but it seems this government have other ideas 😧
Farming families will be forced to sell ... and who is there waiting in the wings like vultures ... the worlds big banks!
It won't affect 2/3 of firms at all. For many others, the bills won't be large. For a small number, the bills will be large as they are large companies that can afford it. Hardly any will be forced to sell.
check the csts of farm machinery then comment@@ShyTalks-d8b
@@ShyTalks-d8bYou are talking absolute rubbish. This is a land grab by large corporations

They should take the sewage sludge and cover Downing Street and the Treasury in it.
Sewage Sludge!! Thank God every veg I buy is from Spain, Morocco etc.
@@kittyhatescrap3500yet you eat meat tainted with vaccinations and don’t even know it oh ignorance is bliss till it’s pointed out eh
@@kittyhatescrap3500 You think they don't have the same practices?????????
Also, take the sludge to the Home Office as well.
See the film, "Lad. A Yorkshire Story". A young man sprays a Bank with slurry because they refused a loan.
Farmers have so much action they can take. Watch their space!
I LOVE AND ADMIRE ALL FARMERS, THE MOST HARD WORKING AND DEDICATED PEOPLE I HAVE EVER MET. I SUPPORT THEM, GOD BLESS THEM ❤
Only the ones that grow crops , couldn't give a toss about animal killers and abusers
its time the farmers stood up and told the Government to foxtrot Oscar. this is a corporate land grab.
Drop the sewage outside Reeve the thieves house.....she's caused all this...horrible obnoxious women...
It's a land grab! They want to force them to sell! They'll be waiting in the wings to "make an offer" because someone else has already offered them more. Black Rock!
Stupid Boy Milliband's GB Energy wants the land to cover in solar panels,wind turbines & Pylons.... it's a land grab pure and simple....the rest will be acquired by Rayner for her immigration housing scheme...!!!!!!
Our farmers are better than the NHS. Simply because they work far more hours for far less money, they manage their own business, finance, they feed more people than get treatment from the NHS. So give them an above inflation pay rise to produce the the food we all enjoy of the best quality.
From my experience with the NHS it is all about money not care.
"a few farms"..... It's pretty much every farm! a couple of tractors and a combine is well over a million for starters
Exactly!
Well it’s all about to hit the fan….. we can’t do without our fantastic farmers
They have certainly hit the wrong people here and the elderly!
I support the farmers. Starmer wants to starve the population .
History repeats
His friends do.
WEF and UN plan, come on just say it
Absolutely
True. The attack on farmers also in The Netherlands and the rest of the EU.
They want to control everything including food supply. No room for farms, only for (artificial) food factories
Correct, the decimation of small farmers is no different to the attack on small businesses. The globalists are intent on destroying every bit of competition, leaving only an elite group of select corporations controlling everything.
I stand with Farmers!
How surprising they haven't got a clue but they're lying they know exactly what they're doing
So our wonderful Govt. will commission tanker ships to dump at sea , or ship it to another country. British Farmers are this Nation's backbone. Parliament will be encircled by tractors , just like recently in Brussels.
Is there anybody this government has not upset.
The public sector/civil servicew, train drivers and junior Dr's.
Undertakers.
Alan’s lads.

When the sludge hits the fan......
If the farmers a use for their sewage...... Decorating certain Ministers private homes might be an idea said someone
Every farm will be affected
Labour figures are pie in the sky
An average house is 300 k what do they think a farm costs to buy set up and run
The only farm yard available fully set up is the one from toys are us at that price !!!!
In some areas farm land can cost £10,000 per acre, (it can go up to £30,000 and more per acre) so if you have 500 acres (which isn't big for a farm) means it's worth £5M just for the land, that's before machinery, house, out buildings etc. But as usual this Gov have no idea what they're talking about or doing. Rachel Reeves is a total moron and showed how little she knew about farming when she rocked up to a farm, during the election in a pair of white plimsoles that were straight out of the box and so white you needed sunglasses to look at them. That say's it all.
Add in any pension they might have from 2027
This young woman had no idea. Obviously a diversity hire. I am 100% behind the farmers on this, coming from a farming community.
We should all be down their with them,
£1 million is nothing for a farm. Our three bed semis is worth £400,000. A farm house and a tractor will be worth £1,000,000. That is without the land, animals and other assets. That woman is completely mad.
So according to you,the farmer sells his house,and machinery.
So what does he work as,and wheres he live??
What a stupid comment.
The public should be angry too......wait till you cant get healthy food and it will be too late
Human sewage-if that is what they mean by Sludge, contains, viruses & medication...I would never put that in my garden. What crap ! what happened to animal dung ??
Most farmers I would imagine vote conservative so labour don’t care it’s like old people as long as they look after the civil service
Why would you think that?
Even the civil service are peed off with the government if tousi is to be believed.
More money for farmers to pay more TAX means paying more money for food or there wont be any!!!
Let it sit at the treatment plants, it will soon back up.
Once farmers stop hedgecutting and ditching people will realise how much goes on outside London...
One combine one tractor and one grain chaser costs over one million
Go for it guy's i am behind you lets go against these c u next Tuesdays!!!
It's to gain more land to build 1.5 million houses!
Inhertitance tax is a true evil and only gangsters could think up such a thing. Where is Robin Hood when we need him?
I do not know where this lot learned math but it was not the same school as me. This whole thing about 3/4 of farmers not being affected fails even the simplest fact check. Average UK farm size 217 acres. Average UK farm land price in 2024 £11,000 per acre. That means in land alone the average farmer has £2,387,000 of assets. That's without adding in buildings, equipment, livestock etc. Even at the lowest price (£8000 per acre) it's still $1.7m. This will hit every single farm in the UK on their death and force them to sell land. The cynic in me things its just a cheap way for Rayner to get land to build her 1.6m houses!
As a farmer I don't agree with the use of human slurry.
This shouldn't be an allowed practice.
It is treated and used on maize for anaerobic digesters.
So as "a farmer" you would rather buy very expensive chemical fertilisers to use on your crops that will leech off your land and potentially contaminate waterways?
@Simonsimon-fy3hq would rather use non at all and manage the land properly for a long lasting healthy crop and not take take take from the land. Or if desperate use an organic fertiliser such as livestock slurry/compost.
@georgenetherway6071 some farmers use it on crops where livestock eat from. I don't agree with that.
@@Simonsimon-fy3hq and thinking of which, human slurry will do the same. Leech into waterways.
GO FARMERS GO
Farmers are angry! Quite honestly anyone with a DC pension is bloody angry anyone who employs anyone is bloody angry……the only people not angry are State employees
Since most small farms net less than £50K a year, if they have this amount in the bank, why not take a year off? No food production, just live off your savings. The Government will soon realise where the true value of farms is.
Because:
1. They probably don’t have that in the bank.
2. Who will feed the animals? Maintain equipment? Pay off loans?
Don't forget food waste and green waste ultimately gets spread on agricultural land and these recycling plants are bursting at the seams. Wouldn't take long to bring the system to a halt.
government misspending should not have to come out of taxes. Should come out of their salaries.
If this was France, there would be sewage sludge all over government buildings.
Labour are clueless and a joke but unfortunately the outfall for ordinary people can’t laugh as it’s catastrophic and not funny
Hopefully they don’t dump sewage on Starmers doorstep.
Labor did the same in australia but it was for everybody it was called death duties .but it was later scrapped as it was so unpopular .😊
This debacle over Farmers, Farming, and inheritance Tax is a turning point in the assessment of how LIFE WORKS and how to RUN IT EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY!!!
Wind Farms and Solar Farms to replace farms. Lobby push it out
Not a lot of wind or sun lately.
Global WEF agenda ...
How much PFAS & other plastics related chemicals is in that sludge? In a SW state in the USA a farmer used something similar and animals on a neighboring Farm all died. The Soil and Water of the cattle and horse farm was poisonous from PFAS....
It's highly regulated here don't know about USA rules
The whole system in the uk is out dated .
You're 100% correct. The whole system in the UK is corrupt and biased towards the elite, just as it as always been.
why is this woman on? she knows as much as the presenter
Was this in their manifesto?
Put the farms into trusts, that would scupper comrade Stammer
What a load of POO!!!!
Allotments be next .
Tax on home grown food.
Prime farming land is £3,000 per acre Basically a new land tax on people who die Asset rich monetarily poor is the term used
I guess the sh^t is about to hit the fan .......
Bill Gates opened the gate, biggest farm owner
I knew what was coming when reeves had a photo of coommie leader in her office

A Knight is also not rich and gives his wealth to the poor.

What substance are you on 😵💫
What a Delightful Idea 💡 Splendid Suggestion 😘 ❤️ 🙏
This policy sounds like it's text book WEF!
It doesn’t smell
True. We used to have it delivered to our farm. It was called Cake which amused my children.
Watch food prices increase 3009% and food rations and black market
Take sewage yo no 10😂
back the farmers people back the british
And it`s not just one million. It`s two million.
Isnt it strange that this is happening to farmers on a global scale?? Proof that its all by design.
Farmers WILL not stop using sewage sludge. As it's a good source of fertilizer.
i didnt know they put human waste on fields , ill grow my own veg from now on.
I wouldn’t be surprised if our roads accidentally smell and look very bad very soon 🤫
The Chancellor was wrong about the Blackhole. Turns out it is £ 22.oop.
Ed Milligan’s needs the land for wind farms and solar PV panels.
They want farmers to hit rock bottom and eventually have to sell the land to these land Hungary Politicians and rock bottom prices.
Why not put the Farms into a Trust!
I think she has closed that down too 😡
Most farms run on loans and overdraft, you cant borrow against the trust
Don’t mess with our farmers.
Homes England Ltd canary wharf total exemption of accounts useing dormant house building companies don't be a fooled by big greedy corps .
I support farmers 110%.They really do get the rough end of the government.
They deserve far more support than they are getting.
It's well deserved if the sludge ends up on No10 doorstep.
Plus farming doesn’t fit in with zero carbon so that’s got to go to according to them
Tax thes super rich fff civil rights lawers in londo 🎉🎉🎉
It's like the Ancien Regime in France protesting against the removal of medieval privileges. And we know what happened to the aristocrats there don't we kids ?
Wouldn’t it be great if presenters asked short concise questions rather than rambling on and interviewees answered the questions they were asked….
you will own nothing , eat bugs and be happy .
Farmers > any government
1:59 it's not only sewage sludge to be disposed of what about the digestate from milibands net zero renewable projects plus all the brewers grains and other waste products that would end up in landfill
Most politicians see farmland as potential housing estates.
Why the Farmers ??? They are the hardest working people . End of story . We all want to know where our food is from in our country , and is the best world wide . Stop the boats and back the Farmers and not kick them in the teeth
If farmers just went back to the cash based system. Cash money for food they would change the tax real quick.
Headline=sewage sludge... Reality=treated human sewage trucked into field and spread. Most of this goes on arable land so we are unlikely to be impacted by this when eating bread or drinking lager.
I heard a new name for Keir starmer. "Starmer, starmer the farmer harmer"
Has Bill Gates got Starmers ear on all this possibly
Will milk for me tea cost more now? ☕😔
Possibly if farmers are so fed up and refuse to sell it at a loss to the supermarkets like they do now.
As usual everyones talking sh**t here.
