The Ulster Farmers’ Union (UFU) is calling on all farmers and supporters of the agricultural community to stand together in a show of unity at a rally to overturn family farm tax.

The union is organising the event on Monday, November 18, at the Eikon Exhibition Centre, at 7.30pm, in response the changes to Agricultural Property Relief announced in the UK budget.

UFU president William Irvine said: “This is a direct threat to the sustainability of our family farms and the livelihoods of more than 24,000 farming families across Northern Ireland.

"This change impacts not only our farm businesses but also the generations who will inherit and care for the land.

"We cannot stand by as these decisions are made without our voices being heard. This rally is about standing together, mobilising, and ensuring our message is clear – we will not accept policies that undermine the hard work, resilience, and heritage of our farming community.”

The UFU is also encouraging people to contact their local MP and speak to friends and family in a bid to overturn the tax change.
