Suffolk Farmers Set Third 'Go Slow' Tractor Rally for Nov. 23 Ahead of Budget

The NFU says it will focus on lobbying to preserve access to ministers.

Overview

  • East Anglia Farmers Unite will assemble at Valley Farm, Wherstead, on Monday, Nov. 23, with a 10am start and 4pm finish under police escort, timed to avoid rush hours.
  • Organisers say the route will remain confidential until the morning of the run and that they have coordinated with Suffolk Police to ensure legality and safety.
  • Dealers and allied trades are invited to join, with additional vehicles expected as protesters oppose a farm inheritance tax planned for April 2026.
  • At a Suffolk branch meeting, NFU deputy president David Exwood reaffirmed the union will not back protests to remain apolitical and “in the room,” drawing frustration from local members.
  • An organiser says he also plans to drive a tractor to Westminster on Budget day, two days after the county rally.
