Farmers and crofters invited to attend event on Tuesday 24 May at McDiarmid Park, Perth at 7pm

NFU Scotland are on the road with a series of 12 events to discuss future agricultural policy in Scotland.

The events – taking place in Shetland, Orkney, Skye, Inverurie, Stepps, Carfraemill, Castle Douglas, Dingwall, Perth, Kilmarnock, Campbeltown and Oban – invite farmers and crofters to discuss Scotland’s transition from a post-Brexit, post-Common Agricultural Policy support framework to a new agricultural policy in Scotland, expected to be in place by 2025.

All NFU Scotland roadshow events will be attended by President Martin Kennedy and Director of Policy Jonnie Hall.

Ahead of the roadshow in McDiarmid Park, Regional Manager for East Central Kate Maitland said: “We are encouraging our members to attend and participate in this event to enable them to express their views and help shape policy decisions. Our region covers a vast range of enterprises, and future funding and support mechanisms will need to be tailored to help support these enterprises equitably. This will not be easy, so please come along and ensure your voices are heard”.
