A HIGH powered panel of speakers from across the UK will debate the impact of Brexit at Turriff Show on Monday, July 31.

NFU Scotland president Andrew McCornick will chair a panel where speakers will be asked to give their post-Brexit vision for Scotland and the UK, starting at 2pm on the NFUS stand.

Contributors will include NFU England and Wales vice president Minette Batters; chairman of Livestock Health Scotland and former NFUS president Nigel Miller; and NFUS director of policy Jonnie Hall. The panelists will each be given 10 minutes to outline their views, before the farmer audience will have an opportunity to question the top table.

Union regional manager 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 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.”
