@murdo_fraser @NFUStweets @ScotLandEstates @scotgov Great news Murdo. Thank you for all you have done to deliver this.

Having worked with @NFUStweets & @ScotLandEstates on the Circular Economy Bill to address flytipping, very pleased to see an amendment from @scotgov in addition to my own to finally remove liability for clearing waste from the innocent landowner. An injustice needing rectified.

Another day of lobbying at the highest level. There’s choices to make and governments have the ability to make them. Getting them wrong will lead to unintended consequences that no one will want to see. Listening to those on the ground will deliver the outcomes required by us all

NFU Scotland had a positive and constructive meeting with Scotland’s First Minister Humza Yousaf MSP yesterday (24 October) on the vital role that farming and crofting play in supporting the nation’s economy; underpinning rural communities and caring for the environment.

Thanks @jamiehepburn and @EmmaHarperMSP for the positive meeting at the great @DandGCollege Stranraer Campus today. Discussed skills, education, training and promoting career opportunities in the agricultural sector. @NFUStweets
