    The End of Farming?

    It's not just the inheritance tax. Nor is it just the overwhelming and suffocating regulations. It's everything together that's making small-scale (and even larger-scale) farming next to impossible in the UK. The UK is a warning signal for American farmers. Where will policy go from here? How can we mitigate the worst of the oppressive policies? What is the impact of a fully centralized system on our personal food security? Helen Freeman shares about what's happening and we discuss ways to impact and influence the results. Find more of Helen's work on her Substack, Me, My Pigs, And I. And follow Liz on Raw Milk Mama.
