manager at North Farm Livestock, to learn more about its commitment to welfare standards and issues facing the sector - including the importance of bio-security measures.</p><p>During the visit to Anmer, they also explored the farm's commitment to sustainability through its ‘farming for nature’ initiative, which boosts biodiversity by creating healthier habitats for wildlife.</p><p>The visit shortly after the Labour Government’s Budget also gave the pair an opportunity to talk about the impact of National Insurance rises and changes to agricultural property relief, which Mr Wild has spoken against in Parliament.</p><div class="articlePanel" data-type="Custom" data-path="/panels/exco/" data-devices="dtm"></div> <p><a

set to be charged at 20% on agricultural assets which are worth more than £1million.</p><p>Speaking on the visit, Mr Wild said: “Norfolk is home to high-quality agricultural businesses such as North Farm and I welcome the opportunity to see their commitment to high quality produce.</p><span id="teads" class="teads-advert KMEPBK" data-provider="3" data-devices="dtm"

the Government plans to make to agricultural property relief threatens the future of many family farms that produce our food and are custodians of the countryside.</p><p>“I am supporting the NFU, CLA, and others in opposing this family farm tax and I have called on Labour to honour the pledge they made before the election and drop this damaging measure.”</p> <div class="clearfixNone"></div> <hr />
