Farmers booted off land for solar power.

“We are a country up for sale. We are selling off land to people who don't pay their taxes here. We are seeing horrific examples land owners taking land back from tenants to put into solar.”

- Minette Batters, outgoing president of NFU

Every day I wake up worrying about the future of our farm and our family if this #solar appeal is granted. Yes our country is up for sale, what has happened to our morale compass? ⁦TFA⁩ ⁦Daily Mail Online⁩ dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

The #GeneralElection will take place amidst the biggest climate and nature crises of our time.

It's vital we protect our countryside and champion all it has to offer.

Rachel Matthews destroys the local council 'Green agenda ' by exposing some very real inconvenient truths…

“After a lengthy court battle, rural villagers from Lincolnshire are celebrating a legal victory, after thwarting an energy company’s plans to convert prime agricultural land into a giant solar farm.”

She raises the inconvenient truth surrounding many net zero ‘solutions’.

“These so-called green or ethical solutions aren’t solutions at all. Just very good marketing from the $1.5 trillion a year climate change industry.”

A very one sided piece in Farmers Weekly but to be expected from a renewable energy and battery storage developer! More balance please Farmers Weekly! CPRE The countryside charity TFA

“This general election may well be the most important in a generation for British food and farming. The stakes are very high.'

“This solar panel con will destroy our farms. By a monstrous sleight of hand, the Government is allowing some of our best soil to be built over.”

Delighted that the Government have finally agreed to appoint a Tenant Farming Commissioner later this year who can fight to protect the rights of vulnerable tenant farmers.

This can't come a moment too soon!

Well done NFU Political and TFA for campaigning for this.
