Well done Ayrshire
Sir, – Back in August 22, 2015 you were kind enough to print my letter in the opinion section headed 'Keeping the dairy crisis in public domain'.
Open your farm to build public trust in agriculture
Sir, – As we prepare to leave the European Union, it is clear that the farming sector will be greatly impacted by this change. Smart, practical and reasoned approaches will be vital as we draw up a new UK Food, Farming and Environment Policy.
Misplaced trust
SIR, – I read with interest the contribution from Peter Chapman (Scottish Conservative shadow secretary for Rural Economy & Connectivity) to last week's Scottish Farmer. In summary, Mr Chapman's argument was trust him, Ruth Davidson, David Mundell, and ultimately Theresa May and the UK Government to deliver a safe landing for Scottish agriculture outside of the European Union.
Excellent entertainment
SIR, – I have just watched the final episode of The Mart and the whole series has been excellent entertainment due both to the BBC and those who took part.
Do you know what you’re voting for?
Sir, – I would have loved to have attended the NFUS conference last week. Work commitments, alas, forbade me.
Getting away with it....
SIR, – In the EU referendum, the Leave campaign said that the Conservative farming minister, George Eustice 'told farmers at the launch of Farmers for Britain that the UK government will continue to give farmers and the environment as much support – or perhaps even more – than they get now”.
Time to get on with the job
WHILE it might not be fair to liken two of the country’s leading politicians to these nursery rhyme characters, there were certainly plenty of promises of arguments and battles and allusions to toys being thrown out of prams last week.
Competing at the next level!
At Area 19 show jumping at Ingliston in July, Galloway Branch had two teams qualify to compete at the next levels.
