SIR, – Since last Thursday’s UK Referendum which resulted in the decision to leave Europe, one fact needs to be cleared up as far as Scottish agriculture is concerned – what will happen to Single Farm Payments?
This money comes 100% from Europe. In the long term, our income must be problematic to say the least. We now have a situation where English votes have put Scottish farmers’ futures at risk.
The Tories are in turmoil, the Labour Party is disintegrating. Thank goodness for Nicola Sturgeon who is the only politician who will fight for Scottish farmers.
Robert Macintyre Dunallan, Isle of Bute
