In this episode, farm charities offer a listening ear as inheritance tax rules come into effect – leaving farming families facing a hefty bill following the death of a loved one. We’ve the latest on help for those who might be affected by the changes, including farmers who haven't yet taken advice. The Farming Community Network helpline is 03000 111 999 (7am to 11pm daily) or via email at [email protected]. Electricity standing charges go up this month – we examine what it means for your farm business with some suggestions for what you can do. What’s hot and what’s not: we look at the latest arable farm management software, including the options and prices thanks to Mike Abram. And we catch up with the National Sheep Association about a new law on livestock worrying – which could help to reduce dog attacks on sheep this Easter Bank Holiday.
