NFU SCOTLAND remains fully committed to striking the right Brexit deal for Scotland’s farmers and crofters.
At its autumn conference last month, NFUS president Andrew McCornick told delegates that withdrawal from both the EU and the CAP meant change was coming. In the 18 months since the EU referendum, the union said it had been on the front foot, both in terms of its political lobbying and member engagement, and that moves to the next level with a nationwide programme of Brexit roadshows for members this month.
Mr McCornick said the union had pursued its three priorities: access to skilled and competent labour and a future support package for Scotland that is adequately funded, fairly allocated and will underpin a policy framework specifically designed for Scottish farming.
