00:00They're right to be angry. The Labour government doesn't understand farming,

00:03doesn't understand that actually many farmers don't make a good living and

00:09yet they're now going to pull the family farms apart. Farmers know their

00:15cattle, they know their land and it's passed from generation to generation. If

00:20they have to sell up to pay this appalling Labour farmers tax then it

00:26will hit our agriculture, hit our food security. It has to go. We need a

00:32positive view of farming. We have the best farmers in the world. We should be

00:35really proud of them. We should be getting behind them. I'm afraid Labour isn't.
