With inheritance tax seemingly permanently in the farming and general news at the moment we’re taking a deep dive into the topic of succession on the podcast for this episode. The newly formed Succession Alliance has come together to help farming families on their succession journey and in the episode we’ll discover what this new organisation is and who’s in it, what they’re aiming to achieve and we’ll also talk about succession in general terms and give you some ideas for how you can begin conversations with your family.
We also talk about the difference between succession and inheritance.
Ben is joined by Amy Fry and Andy Guy who are both succession experts working within the Succession Alliance.

The NFU conference on 25th February saw 700 NFU members descend on London in a change to the usual Birmingham venue. The subject that dominated was predictably inheritance tax and feelings were high in the room when Secretary of State for Defra Steve Reed gave his speech. He announced lots of additional measures but it was inheritance tax that everyone was focussed on. In this episode we review the conference with beef and sheep farmer Rebecca Morgan who is also Chair of Ludlow NFU and is on the consultancy team for agri and rural PR and marketing agency Pinstone, and Cambridgeshire arable farmer Tom Martin.

We’re heading to Wiltshire today to Charlton Park Estate which is home to the Earls of Suffolk and Berkshire. Ben is joined by Robin Aird who is the Farms and Estate Manager. The farm itself is around 1450 hectares (nearly 4000 acres), a mix of arable and grassland. On top of this the farm has about 5,500 tonnes of grain storage capacity. 78 hectares of woodland and 560 hectares of environmental features are central to the estate’s conservation strategy which is made up of wild bird food areas, cover cropping, wildflower areas and grass margins. Today we’re going to hear more about this and Robin’s own journey.
