I don't always agree with Will Hutton, but on inheritance tax and farming, I think he's on the right track - we need to remake farming & IHT is one mechanism for starting to do that - farming needs to move beyond a semi-feudal hoarding of land & look to different modes of agricultural organisation.
He is right about the direction in which farming policy needs to move; its just contemporary farmers often find it difficult to see that....
