Northeast farmer Charlie Adam and Perthshire farmer Martin Kennedy were elected as the new vice-presidents of NFU Scotland. The pair will join president Andrew McCornick who was re-elected unopposed for a second two-year term.
As Martin Kennedy was re-elected to the position of vice-president, he will need to stand again next year if he wants to continue on for more than the year. Charlie Adam will not have to stand for re-election for two years. The only new regional chair is Alan Corrigall (Orkney).
The new chair of the Union’s livestock committee is Ayrshire farmer Jimmy Ireland, from Darvel, who replaces Charlie Adam; while Dumfries and Galloway dairy farmer Colin Ferguson joins as the next generation chair.
