Liberal Democrats Propose 'Farm First' Scheme
Update: 2025-12-04
Description
The Liberal Democrats propose a Farm First scheme, akin to Teach First, to attract young people to farming, addressing the low percentage of under-35 farmers in the UK. The scheme, costing £60 million annually, would fund two-year training placements for 1000 trainees, funded by measures like a windfall tax on big banks. The Labour Party, however, criticizes the Liberal Democrats for cutting farming spending in the past. Despite this, theres a surge in farming interest, partly due to Jeremy Clarksons show, but concerns remain about future challenges, including proposed inheritance tax changes.
