The AHDB, Quality Meat Scotland (QMS) and Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) are running three Brexit roadshows across Scotland in February and March.

The evening events will begin in the north on 21 February at Thainstone House Hotel, before moving down to Airth Castle in Stirlingshire the following day. There will then be a short break before the final event on 8 March in the south west at the Woodland Bay Hotel outside Girvan.

The events will feature expert speakers from each organisation who will outline the latest thinking on policy, potential implications and opportunities, as well as how farmers can prepare now for the future outside the EU.

Speakers will include AHDB Senior Analyst Sarah Baker on the possible impact of Brexit; SRUC Senior Agricultural Economist Steven Thomson, who will explain the current political debates in Holyrood and Westminster; and Douglas Bell, Head of Industry Development at QMS, who will outline how farmers can prepare for the changes ahead.

The evening will end with a panel discussions with farmers able to ask questions of any, or all, of the expert panel. The free events are expected to run from 7pm – 9.30pm with tea, coffee and biscuits provided.
