“The conference really threw some things on their head. It does give you food for thought and it does challenge your thought process which is never a bad thing. I’m still going over some of my research now.”

“I was surprised the first time that I went down that there’s not a lot of farmers there. It’s more people connected to the industry attending, than the farmers themselves.
“It’s not a fault of the conference but it would have been nice to see a bit more from the Scottish side. But the Young Farmers side was really good and they all enjoyed themselves. It’s great to get the opportunity to go down.”
Duncan Morrison,
National agri & rural affairs chairman SAYFC (Sponsored by International Trust)
“There was a lot of interest on whether we’re going to be eating meat in 2100 and so it made me stop and think what that means to me because I’m a beef farmer. In the long term I think beef is probably going to be a niche market.
“There was a really good crowd of Scottish folk down there. Hopefully the Scottish contingent grows and grows.”
