Women in Agriculture

🥩🇬🇧 As Great British Beef Week ends, we celebrate the quality of British beef and the farmers behind it. Every time you choose British, you support local farming. Thank you! Shoutout to our committee & members for the amazing photos and dedication 📸💙

Our vice chair Julie McLaren was lucky enough to spend the first day of the Great British Beef Week with luing cattle. Sunshine & cattle are a great combination!

Lucy McClymont & Hannah McIntosh had a lovely day at our Spring Floral Afternoon 🌸☕🍰 A relaxed session full of creativity, chat, coffee & cake. Thanks to Lindsay Austin for the demo, Christine McClymont & Mary Vance for the bakes! 💐

An elderly woman held a birthday celebration for her dog, but instead of paying attention to the food, the dog gazed lovingly at her the entire time.

This is great news but that's only 5 councils out of +300, just less than 2% - it doesn't even scratch the surface sadly. Much more needs to be done.

Amazing prize for our new Helping it Happen Rural Champion Award. Very grateful to @countrysidefund for their generous support. Get nominating!!

A total joy today to present 95-year-old Willie Ralston with a #KeepTalking beanie hat and he was very chuffed to receive it! ☺️ We enjoyed a lovely few hours with Willie today, filming a wee interview with him as part of our #PloughingOn initiative celebrating the important role of senior people in the Scottish agricultural community. Willie had kindly looked out lots of pictures from years gone by and shared many of his favourite memories with us for a video which we look forward to launching very soon. Many thanks to Willie, who also attended one of our Plough On Festive Lunches, and to everyone who is getting behind our PloughingOn activities. 👏🌟👏🌟 #KeepTalking #farming #FarmingCommunity
