Thanks to everyone who attended and engaged with yesterday’s @nfuscotland & SAYFC national hustings at United Auctions, Stirling. 

There was some brilliant discussion on the night, particularly when it came to the topic of supporting our nation's Young Farmers and new entrants into the industry. 

We believe our Young Farmers are the future of this industry and we highly encourage our members to take time to consider the promises put forward for our sector, and use their chance to vote in the upcoming election on May 7th. 

Your voice and your vote matter.
