Big day as Parliament elects new FM & Gov. @NFUStweets looks forward to working with the Gov and an early action we’re calling for is Public Procurement. We’ve set out our clear asks - bold actions that will transform our country’s approach to this. Let’s now get beyond words

📣 Putting Scottish Food First That’s our ask for public procurement. Our schools, hospitals, care homes etc should lead the way to showcase & support local producers. We believe it can better. @NFUStweets has started our campaign for change - see our 8 asks👇 This matters

What A Day! Maybe not perfect, but today’s changes will bring huge relief to many farming families. There will be time to say more in due course. But in case anyone wonders what effective lobbying looks like - it’s this 👇💪 Here’s our statement: nfus.org.uk/news/news/inheri…

Inheritance Tax Threshold Raised to £2.5m Following NFU Scotland Campa

We’re increasing the APR and BPR threshold from £1m to £2.5m for individuals or £5m for couples. This protects more family farms and businesses. This means 85% of farming estates that claim this relief will now pay no inheritance tax on their estates.

So frustrating 😡seeing retailers fight it out as to who can sell the cheapest Xmas dinner, with many veg cut to 5p. This might appeal to some, but @NFUStweets believe this is pure wrong - and we’ve been saying so for months. See our recent letter to retailers, and our report 👇
