SAVE BRITAIN'S FAMILY FARMS: Rebecca Wilson, Yorkshire: "The recent proposal for Inheritance Tax could decimate farms like ours"

Fifth-generation farmer Rebecca Wilson farms alongside her family in North Yorkshire, running a sheep and arable enterprise across 243 hectares (600 acres).

On October 30, Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced a 拢1 million cap on Inheritance Tax, and in the first video for 草榴社区 Guardian's new campaign, Save Britain's Family Farms, Rebecca says her farm is 'comparable to many family farms across the country' and a lot of farming families are 'asset rich', not cash rich.
