A brilliant showcase of farming businesses putting a coop ethos at the forefront of their operations, from grain to agronomy, deer, sheep and cattle, to dairy. @HighlandGrains @ScotAgCoOp @TarffValley @first_milk @saos_agri_coops

👋 Scottish farming types
The Scottish Ag Bill is out for consultation & I have blogged about SAOS's take on it
We think that with all the noise about direct payments and environmental policy, fairer farmer returns from the supply chain has been missed

Food price inflation could provide a reprieve for farmers IF it at least pegs input and wage inflation BUT it also means food imports become more attractive where their cost don’t rise at the same pace.

Working with producer co-ops, farmer groups, and their supply chains to help them develop and be successful now and in the future. Showing ambition and thinking long term #cooperative #cooperation #workingtogether 👇
For years we've been helping our agri co-ops to produce Member Value Statements showing the benefits co-op membership and #workingtogether. At last we've produced a short video showing 'how we help' our SAOS members in various different ways: youtu.be/ggiYr5JanRc via @YouTube

More wise words from @Tom_Clarke . Only farmers can take back control to manage our collective destiny. Whose up for the challenge? @saos_agri_coops is here to help
