Farmers protest: Budget Day farmer protests to take place around the country and on A14 with slow-moving tractors - full routes
Farmers from across the country are preparing to join the Day of Unity this morning to protest ahead of the Autumn Budget.
Farmers will take part in the protest to express their dissatisfaction with Labour’s changes to the farm family tax, as well as to highlight other issues that are putting pressure on the agricultural community. The nationwide movement emerged from a collaboration of ideas among several UK farming groups.
The organisers confirmed that the action will begin at approximately 10am and should be complete by 4pm on Monday 24th November. Day of Unity will see numerous go-slow protests on A-roads around the UK.
Tractors are also set to be parked on overhead A-road bridges, with warning lights on. A spokesperson for Farmers To Action said: “We all hope that taking part in the Day of Unity will further bring the farming community together.
“We at FTA believe in safety in numbers, and being so we will be able to give a clear display to the Labour Government that we are mighty and we as farmers will not back down.” There are planned protests in Immingham and South Killingholme.
Humberside Police said: “We are aware of a pre-planned protest involving vehicles that may cause travel disruption in the areas of Immingham and South Killingholme from early tomorrow morning and throughout the day (Monday, 24 November 2025). Humberside Police officers will be in attendance to allow people to go about their lawful business.”

There will be more than 60 tractors taking part in the demonstrations on the A14 on Monday, with a full route released showing the way the convoy will travel. The protest will begin at a farm in Wherstead.
From 10am, the tractors will travel along the A137 and into Ipswich, where it will proceed along Wherstead Road, Hawes Street and Vernon Street.
