SCOTTISH farmers and crofters who are still ‘in the dark’ about the UK’s post-Brexit agricultural policy need to be heard in negotiations, as well as ‘continued’ and ‘fair’ funding for a ‘smooth transition’, their union argued at Westminster.

NFUS president Andrew Mc- Cornick said: ‘We continue to press the UK government on the importance of committing to longer term funding and its fair allocation across the UK. That will be key to winning the confidence of Scottish farmers and crofters, and a clear indication that their needs are being heard in the Brexit negotiations.
