AGRICULTURE

These are turbulent times and farmers are experiencing many rapid developments in the world of agriculture. They must keep pace with changes in common agricultural policy, the impact of planning and environmental policy and reforms to the law of agricultural holdings. There is also the ever present need to arrange their affairs in a tax efficient manner.
