National Farmers' Union of Scotland
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The National Farmers' Union of Scotland is an organisation that promotes and protects the interests of the country's farming industry. It was formed in 1913, and has approximately 10,000 members who are farmers, crofters and others involved in Scottish agriculture.
The union stood a candidate in the 1918 Ross by-election, T. Preece; he took 35.4% of the votes cast, but was not elected.[1]
The president as of February 2017 is Andrew McCornick.[2]
