BBC“I think my schoolmates are crazy. I probably thought I would give up – but I don’t.”
Bridgette Baker, with a 24-year-old, fish and Grandad, is a farmer with Babim and grandfather in South Somerset.
A few lambs and pigs selling to local customers for meat business are a beef and planting farm.
Some farmers are angry based on changes inherited tax rules and farm payments, why do these days want to be in the industry?
“We did not encourage school to enter agriculture. This is a shame,” Bridgette said.
“Everybody thought: ‘Oh, you are smart to do anything else.’
“People don’t think farmers are smart but are the most complicated work. You need to be really smart to be a farmer.”
Bridgette said the agricultural industry should be more choice for people in the school.
“When I was 15, I began to raise the calf with my grandchildren and really enjoyed.
“I have been going on since then, I woke up so I woke up enough.”
Now, he starts the day by nourishing cattle, including rare breed pigs.
“I really enjoy this sex. They took such a beautiful temper.”
Bridgette and his mother sell and sell their own sausages on the farm.
“Obviously, I will be biased, but I am very pleasant to sausage and bacon.”
The bridge, which studied agriculture, finished a few years ago and returned to the family farm hoping to stay for a long time.
He said, “There is always difficulty loads, but once I have received a beautiful system on the farm, I will have free time to do another job on the Agriculture Journalism or side.
“The farm is not very profitable,” You need a B Plan with a little disappointing farm on the farm, so we try to do two jobs like a family. ”
Like Bridgette Farms next to Dad and Grandad, I was eager to study the work of the government Changes planned in the legacy tax on farms.
“When the government announces heritage taxes, he was very shock for the village community,” he said.
From April 2026, for the first time, 20% of agricultural assets with more than £ 1 million will be inherited, although some farmers’ paid to £ 3 million.
The government expects changes that affect the richest 500 property each year.
The ministers will make the “fair” things and protect “small family farms.”
Bridgette, like family farms, hers, now need to save taxes when you have to pass the after-generation farm, he said.
However, he said that this means that they could not invest in the future, “because we must plan this payment.”
He said that family farms should be sold, and the wider village economy said.
He said: “We use Tire companies, machine sales, veterinarians, mechanics, mechanics, feed companies – it affects many economies.”
Bridgette also thought that if they were less competitive than family farms, which were imported from family farms, they could go to consumers.
Before this month, the government has announced Close the flow of financing the environment EU Farm subsidies are made to the new applicants designed to replace subsequent subsidies from the Bexit.
The government said that a sustainable agricultural promotion (SFI) has been agreed with 37,000 financial agreements.
Bridgette’s farm receives a SFI for environmental management, including the farm, hedgehogs and trees.
The government said that the budget of the entire scheme has been allocated and new applications could not be accepted.
Bridgette said that the farmers who are preparing to apply this announcement.
“They have made it all the documents to go in and calculate all other bits.”
“Now that this growing year is the year, if something goes wrong and does not gain a profit, there is no payment to the SFI to continue.”
‘Tolerant Commitment’
Bridgette said the government feels “making great decisions.”
Beef and agricultural enterprises are the main revenues of its farm, the passion of Bridgette is a lovely breed pigs and a three-year-old child Dotty.
Pregnant with third garbage, it is due to the rebirth in May.
Bridgette said: “He was a really good mother and he taught me to grow pork – some pigs they would look at you. He is busy all my mistakes.
“In agriculture, there’s a lot to learn. You won’t learn if you don’t experience.”
The government spokesman said, “Patience” the obligation to farmers.
They said: “We are 5 mln to the agricultural budget for two years.
