Yesterday, I attended the opening day of the two day agricultural Turiff Show 2026, the biggest in the North Of Scotland.
I met with NFUS President Andrew Connon, North-east Regional Vice-Chair Mike Davies and NFUS office-bearers as well as engaging with QMS, Scottish Land and Estates, local businesses and a wide range of individuals.
There were some common themes throughout these discussions – concerns about the potential for the EU ban on Brazilian beef to have an impact here for example – and I will be taking these issues forward with Ministers at UK level.
Aside from a brief shower, Turriff Show was blessed with good weather, in marked contrast to last year which led to the show closing early. There seems to be a strong attendance judging by the crowds and I wish the organisers well for a successful event.
