Central Highlands Regional Council Mayor Janice Moriarty said her region is committed to ongoing support of the Queensland Beef Corridors. "This strategic network of roads intersects at the Central Highlands, connecting inland beef producers to meat processers and ports in the east," she said. "Central Queensland represents a quarter of our nation’s beef herd and is home to some of the most advanced and innovative grazing industry practices. "CQ roads urgently need to match the standard of the world-class products being produced in this region.

Alberta is home to world-class food manufacturing facilities, and beef processing is at the heart of it. To support economic diversification and growth in Alberta’s agriculture industry, Alberta’s government introduced its Agri-Processing Investment Tax Credit in spring 2023. JBS Food Canada ULC (JBS Canada) has qualified for Alberta’s Agri-Processing Investment Tax Credit program by investing $89.7 million to expand its beef patty processing line at its facility in Brooks. With the expansion, JBS Canada will double its beef processing capacity and automate its warehouse, producing almost 7 million more kilograms of beef patties every year for restaurants in western Canada. Through incentives like this tax credit, Alberta’s government is supporting rural communities and primary producers, and building on Alberta’s competitive advantages for agri-food companies.

A very well thought out comment regarding the future of farming under the current government. Worth a read and hopefully ahow your support by reposting.
It was with great sadness and regret that many small family farms watched and heard the news that the government have failed farmers, the countryside and environment in this week’s budget. Last year the Prime Minster gave a speech outlining his apparent understanding of the importance of protecting and supporting farmers. Many took those words which seemed so sincere as a sign, perhaps, there would be some understanding from a Labour Government on the importance of supporting and protecting small farms and their role in rural communities and as custodians of the environment. How naive. In our case, although we own land and buildings with a book value, we fight tirelessly each year to keep our farming business afloat from the ever-tighter margins and costs of production. As an example of our work...we are a carbon negative farm, syncing more Co2 than we use across the farm. We produce food - hops for the national drink (beer). We are involved in an array of environmental schemes, some government, some driven from our own passion for our land. We have diversified to bring communities and people onto our land for tours and hospitality. In short, we have done everything we can in terms of business, enviornment, food production and diversification to make our small farm stay above the line so it can be protected and passed on. Farmers in today’s world have had to adapt like us to keep the family farm going so it can be cared for and passed onto the next generation. The governments decisions to tax that next generation could affect 70,000 farms. If those farms are sold, the generational passion and love for that land is lost forever. That asset is intangible and can’t be replaced. It has a social value much greater than the potential minor tax income from IHT on farms. We have a short window of time to lobby Steve Reed MP, the Chancellor and government to explain the facts and get this tax removed from the Finance Bill. Without doing so I fear it will mark the end for many farming communities. If you agree small family farms are best placed to protect and grow food, then please support this post by reposting and commenting. What other group will be prepared to work tirelessly to protect the environment and grow food in all corners of the UK? The NFU will take the lead in taking this argument to MPs. But it would be fantastic to feel support from the wider populace on this issue over the coming weeks.

“We need to *wind up* the trust and sell the farms!” ___ The Ps and the Ds each owned 50% of the units in a unit trust: [1] TCo owned substantial real property - farms. The Ps sought to have the trust ended and distribute the assets. The Ds took the opposite view: [5] The Ps said: 1. there was an agreement or estoppel that if one party wanted to exit, the assets would be sold; 2. the trust deed allowed a unit holder to terminate; 3. the TCo’s conduct was oppressive; and 4. a receiver should be appointed to trust assets: [7] The Ps and Ds were bankers who, after a time, resolved to add valuable farmland to their portfolio: [15] - [18] They sought advice on structuring: [19] - [30] TCo was incorporated and established as trustee, with Ps and Ds funding TCo’s purchase of the land: [31], [32] A unit holders agreement was considered but not signed: [33] - [36] Once commenced, the parties considered: which farm management services Co was best, the possible acquisition of further properties by TCo, the Ds frustration with the Ps’ acquisition of a farm themselves and not for TCo, and the looming threat of drought: [39] - [53] As the drought intensified, arguments arose about: (i) whether to de-stock or borrow to buy feed: [54] - [65], (ii) the Ps stretching their finances to make their own acquisitions thereby depriving TCo of a source of funds to buy land, and (iii) the Ps standing in the way of the Ds buying some land for themselves: [54] - [72] The relationship deteriorated. In 2021 and 2022 the Ps put purchase offers to the Ds. The Ds accepted neither: [87] - [89] Later in 2022, the Ps served a notice purporting to “wind up” the trust: [90] Re 1., the Ps said there was an agreement, or representations founding an estoppel, that each party could unilaterally terminate the JV on notice: [107], [109] The Court found no evidence of a “one out / all out” arrangement: [122] Re 2., the unit holders has a present entitlement to trust capital; a position adopted for land tax purposes: [126], [136] The Ps failed on this point; incl because the Deed did not give rise to a present entitlement for *each unit holder separately* rather than the unit holders together: [168], [184] Re 3., the Court accepted oppression can occur with a trustee Co, with the relevant member protecting their family’s beneficiary interest: [202] - [204] None of the pleaded oppression bases was made out: [209] - [255] Ps’ complaints arose from disagreements re management of the farms through drought, and the lack of an exit strategy - neither proved commercial unfairness: [256] - [258] Re 4., the trust property was not in jeopardy and TCo appeared to be performing satisfactorily: [266] The Court was not moved by the Ps’ analogies to partnerships or s461 applications, leaving no basis for the appointment of a receiver: [267] - [283] The Ps’ application was dismissed: [286] ___ If you have made it this far, please consider giving my firm Gravamen a follow.
