Farmers are gathering in towns and cities to thank the British public for their support in the campaign to #StopTheFamilyFarmTax and to underline that the farming industry will continue to fight in the face of this unjust policy until the tax is subject to proper scrutiny.

It comes after the unions delivered a petition signed by more than 270,000 people to Number 10 by NFU president Tom Bradshaw and NFU Cymru president Aled Jones.
The four presidents of the UK farming unions highlighted the public support they had received.
Public support
"It gives us great strength to know that the public are backing British farming at this critical moment in time.
"The industry is not taking this lying down. The Government has woken a sleeping giant, as our mass lobby of MPs in Westminster and the farmer led rally in Whitehall have demonstrated."

They added the National Day of Unity provided another opportunity to call on the government to overturn this abhorrent policy.
"It is a day to come together for everyone who believes that Britain's family farms, and the high-quality food they produce, deserve better.
Chancellor
"Farmers at events across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland will be on hand to speak with the public to explain why changes to APR and BPR stand to punish food-producing businesses, destroying generations of work from hard-pressed farming families and changing the face of our rural communities forever.

"Government must take action. We are asking the Chancellor to listen to farmers and meet with us to hear and fully understand our very real concerns. Rest assured, the UK farming unions will not sit quietly and let this go – we will continue fighting because this is not just about our farms, but our families, our future and your food."
