Scottish Government roadshows to shed light on new Common Agricultural Policy

Scottish Government roadshows to shed light on new Common Agricultural Policy

Farmers and crofters across Scotland will have the opportunity to find out more about the new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) at a series of Scottish Government roadshows.

There are 35 public events scheduled, plus another three specifically for agents.

These are running until the start of next month.

At each roadshow, Scottish Government officials will explain how CAP support will be delivered from next year, and what needs to be done to receive CAP funding.

Rural Affairs Secretary Richard Lochhead said: “We are about to implement the biggest reform of the Common Agricultural Policy in a generation and, while we have already provided information about the funding system, farmers and crofters will undoubtedly have questions about the practical implications of these changes.

“These roadshows are the ideal opportunity for farmers and crofters to find out about the new CAP which comes into effect on January 1, 2015, as well as what they need to do to receive funding and all of the key dates and deadlines.

Dates and venues include:

* The Dewar’s Centre, Perth, December 4 at 7pm.

* United Auctions Mart, Stirling, December 9 at 7pm.

* Lawrie & Symington Mart, Forfar, December 11 at 7pm.

Meanwhile the NFU Scotland will run a series of meetings.

These include one at Huntingtower Hotel, Perth on Monday at 7.30pm
