Young farmers are our future VIEW FROM THE ROSTRUM
Stephen Dodsworth commends our youth
The back end is in full swing, like so many other auctions across the country we are now in to our harvest, silly season if you like, with sales coming thick and fast.
Breeding sheep are superb to sell, females of all classes and noticeably the bigger tups which will put weight in to the finished lambs. Store cattle continue to flourish off the back of the prime trade which continues to set new records week after week and our second-hand machinery throughput is making remarkable gains this year with a full calendar of dispersal and collective sales all receiving support.
As I write this, we have just hosted our inaugural North East Live show, albeit an exhausting process, we are immensely proud of what we achieved and for a first attempt we consider it a very successful venture.
The togetherness of our industry becomes apparent at these events and displays a communal strength which we are very proud to be a part of. The success for me was measured by the wonderful well-wishes and messages of appreciation I received; that made the efforts all worthwhile. So, when the dust settles, we will analyse our first foray into holding a na-
tional show, we will hold on to the positives and try our best to iron out any negatives.
We welcomed trade and livestock exhibitors from all three home nations to Darlington, it was a wonderful day, the people were a pleasure, the show they put on was incredible and we are already looking forward to next year.
I am sure you will read elsewhere of the successes in our showrings, and congratulations go to all the prize winners. They all took home the most stunning rosettes crafted by an impressive young entrepreneur, Iona Park, of Pedigree Rosettes – a name you will do well to remember, she will go far. The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow.
To thank everyone involved in the process of holding such a large event would be impossible; judges, stewards, exhibitor’s volunteers and mart staff alike all pulled together and made it happen, I am, however, going to continue complimenting the next generation, God bless the Young

Farmers. Plenty of bad press surrounded the National Federation of Young Farmers’ Clubs at its AGM in spring, but let me tell you this, the members are absolute diamonds. They offered to help at North East Live, they were asked to park the cars and they did it with military precision and a constant smile on their faces.
These young folk all across the country offer assistance and support to our industry time and time again, they support local shows and raise funds for charities constantly and often gain little recognition for doing so. The farming community would be a much poorer place without YFC. Hard-working young people are rare, farming has held on to theirs and long may that continue, if one weekend in Blackpool to let their hair down is all they need then so be it, I am just sorry that I am too old to join them.

Property Landscape Taxation now a main driving force in land market
Sales rise over fear of Budget changes
TTheNaturalWayToBuild
MOBILE TIMBER HOMES
he past month has seen a large increase in the number of both on and off market transactions across farmland in the Yorkshire region, bucking recent trends of limited supply.
One of the main driving forces in the market is taxation, principally driven by the anticipated changes to the capital taxation rates and reliefs currently in place across England.
The autumn Budget is planned for October 30 and many experts are predicting significant increases in Capital Gains Tax rates, potential changes to rollover-relief and tightening of Agricultural Property Relief (APR), particularly in relation to let property and farmhouses.
fers, as well as sales to sitting tenants and open market sales.
Pressure is particularly great where these deals include let land, land held by non-farming investors or where rollover-relief may not be available to the vendor.

While the new Labour Government wishes to show its power and make changes to taxation with the aim of balancing the books, it must be careful not to see a repeat of the Liz Truss Government with the illfated Budget of September 2022 which triggered market instability and ripples for many months after.
Hints
While all hints from the new Government have been on hikes in capital taxes, industry experts believe that working farmers will remain largely unaffected.
Any significant changes to APR under Inheritance Tax being likely confined to let land and around the taxation of farmhouses.
With increased tax-fee thresholds now amounting to £1 million for a couple who leave their home to their children, the level to which changes to APR on farmhouses affect the industry may be limited for most.
Without a crystal ball at this time, all one can do is to take advantage of the current regimes or accept any future changes.
Many have chosen to rush through deals under the current regime to secure their position, with an unprecedented number of transactions aiming to exchange contracts before the end of the month.
This includes inter-family trans-
Sales to sitting tenants and of land left to non-farming family members have been key areas to review and consider quick action, although without certainty of the future changes, some may take action in error or miss the opportunity to take action. The risks can be great.
Taxation is not the only driving force and properties are bought and sold for a variety of reasons.
We continue to see a growing interest from the non-farming buyers with a particular emphasis on ecoservices, particularly relating to carbon and biodiversity net gain schemes, although these are becoming more focused on cheaper land where more acres can be secured for larger off-setting schemes.
Any taxation changes this autumn may force further change, as investors find land unattractive to continue to hold and seek to leave the market. This could result in further supplies of land to the market in spring or summer 2025.
The market will react to any changes, prices will adjust to supply and demand pressures, and landowners will try to manage their tax affairs as efficiently as possible, even during times of uncertainty.
