By Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross MP
Firstly, I want to thank our farmers and the wider agriculture sector for their incredible work in keeping the country moving over the course of the last year. You have gone above and beyond and deserve our utmost thanks.
With a background in dairy farming and as someone who studied at agricultural college, under my leadership the Scottish Conservatives will always be on your side.
Over their 14 years in charge, the SNP have neglected our rural communities for far too long.
They’ve left them in the dark over future funding models, have failed to upgrade vital infrastructure and diminished services available in rural areas.
