The meat has never been more expensive, due to supply shortages, but there's a big squeeze on profits.

With US beef prices soaring to record highs, you might think that South Dakota cattle rancher Eric Gropper would be celebrating.

Yet while the cost of the meat in US supermarkets is now 12% higher than it was a year ago, a rise more than three times the rate of general inflation, Gropper says that he and all the other beef farmers aren’t making any more profit than usual.

    This ain’t the case in UK, you get taxed on your lands worth, including machinary, life stock and the house itself.

      No you don’t. That’s a deliberate misreading of a (proposed. Is it in place yet?) inheritance tax change as being an ongoing tax. It is not.

      Don’t believe everything Jeremy Clarkson says, he literally bought tgat farm to dodge inheritance tax and is on record saying so.

        You should believe very little of what Clarkson says, he’s a professional buffoon.
