Real strength of feeling on display in Gatehouse this evening with standing room only at the first meeting of #nogallowaynationalpark. It is clear the people of Galloway do not feel they have been involved in the bid to create a new Galloway National Park thus far.
Does the Government listen to farmers? What do we actually want from the Labour Party? Join our free webinar to hear from industry figures @NatPigAssoc@SusFoodTrust@McCulloch_JR@CarterJonas@edbarkerAIC and have your say ๐ค

Great to be asked to write a Farming Matters piece for the Scottish edition of todayโs @FarmersGuardian! Reflecting on the results of last weeks general election and what it could mean for the Agricultural industry! ๐ฎ๐พ
Absolutely ridiculous! If they didnโt know how to handle it effectively, they should have called somebody who did! If a farmer was to be caught doing something like this, especially on video, the authorities would hound them! Shocking!
His Majesty, King Charles III, will be the new Patron of the RHASS.
We are grateful for His Majesty's Patronage and continued support from The Royal Family dating back to 1787.
Extremely proud to have been the first ever winner of this award last year, named after a great man and stalwart of the industry! Excited to see who will be awarded the honour this year! Get those applications in if you know someone who deserves this award! ๐ @SAYFC@SRUC

@SAYFCAGAFFAIRS @MairiGougeon I am looking forward to seeing what Scott, Fraser and the whole committee can achieve in the coming year and I look forward to supporting them and the Agri and Rural Affairs committee where I can in the future! ๐ (9/9)
On Monday night at our @SAYFC Agri and Rural Affairs AGM, I signed off as national Chair of the committee, and handed the reigns over to a new and enthusiastic team to take the committee forward! ๐ค (1/9)
@SAYFCAGAFFAIRS @MairiGougeon We have had a hugely successful year and a huge thanks must go to Scott Dey as my vice chair and Jenny Murtagh as our staff member for all their support and to the whole committee for their hard work and enthusiasm! ๐ (8/9)
Good to see @NFUStweets taking a firm and principled stand on this matter! ๐ This is blatant disrespect from the Scottish government towards the agricultural industry - something they claim to appreciate the importance of!
Weโve written to the First Minister setting out our significant concerns about the withdrawal of vital agriculture funding and in the way this matter is being handled. We want to work constructively with all Govs but this is an important point of principle that needs addressed ๐
Everyone needs to stop tagging the journalist in question and giving them more airtime. They are doing much more damage to the environment than many of us, flying round the world to present a travel programme. #hypocrite (2/2)
Plenty of chat in the past few days about the impact of eating beef. This country remains one of the most sustainable in the world for our farming practices. Consistently turning rough, unusable pastures into a highly nutritious product for the population. #buylocal (1/2)
