 The lack of new entrants coming into agriculture and the ageing profile of farmers has been headlining the farming news over the past year. The low profitability of agriculture, high capital requirement of farming, lack of available land to rent and high land values have all contributed to the current concerns. The STFA/NFUS roadshows intend to examine the workings of the tenanted sector and its future, giving a practical insight into the operation of letting land from both a tenant and a landlord perspective. Speakers from the Young Farmers will outline their aspirations and visions for the future.
Hamish Lean from Blackadders, solicitors in Forfar, will open the meetings with an overview of the legislative framework, how new tenancies are operating, the importance of making the right tenancy arrangement and forward planning succession.
The details of the six meetings are as follows:
Monday 15 January: Inverness Caley Thistle Football Stadium, Inverness, 7.30pm
Thursday 18 January: Barn & Bushel, Thainstone Mart, Aberdeen, 7.30pm
Monday 22 January : The Corran Halls, Oban (Please note 12.45pm start)
Tuesday 23 January: The Lodge, Carfraemill, 7.30pm
Monday 29 January: The Urr Valley, Castle Douglas, 7.30pm
Tuesday 30 January: Huntingtower Hotel, Crieff Road, Perth, 7.30pm
