The impact of Brexit on Scottish agriculture will be debated at a special event at the Turriff Show next week.
The discussion event, organised by NFU Scotland (NFUS), will feature a panel of high-profile speakers from across the UK.
They are: NFU England and Wales vice president, Minette Batters; former NFUS president and chairman of Livestock Health Scotland, Nigel Miller; and NFUS director of policy, Jonnie Hall.
The discussion will be chaired by NFUS president Andrew McCornick and each panellist will be given 10 minutes to outline their views before taking questions from the farmer audience.
NFUS regional manager for the north-east, Lorna Paterson, said: “We are delighted to facilitate this event on our stand at Turriff, giving our members a golden opportunity to ask questions of this expert panel and make their opinions known on what they wish to see happening post-Brexit.
“All members of the union have now received a copy of the union’s discussion document on Brexit – ‘CHANGE – A New Agricultural Policy for Scotland Post-Brexit’ – and this debate is another fantastic chance for members to tell us what they think and help shape the future for Scottish and UK farming.”
The event takes place on the union’s stand at the show on Monday at 2pm.
NFUS will also host a discussion with MSPs, MPs and Aberdeenshire Council’s chief executive Jim Savage earlier in the day.
