THIS November, NFU Scotland representatives, led by president Andrew McCornick, will be travelling to town halls, marts, hotels and other meeting places across rural Scotland to discuss with members what Brexit will mean for Scottish farmers – and what members would like to see come from the change.

NFUS chief executive, Scott Walker, said: “Hosting these roadshow events give us, as a union, the chance to create an open dialogue with our members in regards to Brexit and what we want from it.

“We have already released two CHANGE documents in the last year which outline our aims and priorities for the Brexit process and beyond. The roadshow is the opportunity for our members to feed their views on Brexit and our CHANGE documents back to us so we know how we should be moving forward.”

Mr McCornick, who will be speaking at all of the roadshow stops, said: “We are facing one of the biggest changes in farming and crofting in the last 44 years, since joining Europe. All our business decisions, up until now, have been developed and evolved in a European context.

“Now things will change, and we are coming to you, the members, at our regional November Roadshows to prioritise, discuss and shape what our industry needs most in a post Brexit Scotland to deliver a profitable sustainable future.”
