Farmers keep us firmly in picture over food supply

Rural: Images of lambs and kids to lighten the mood

- BY GEMMA MACKENZIE

Farmers across the UK are working hard to ensure a continued supply of food and drink during the coronaviru­s pandemic.

NFU Scotland president, Andrew McCornick, has assured the public that everyone working in the agricultur­al sector will work tirelessly to ensure shop shelves remain full.

Producers across the north and north-east have been busy calving, lambing, and making a start on spring sowing work.

These pictures show some of the spring farming activities going on in the region.
