Argyll National Farmers Union and the Agriculture Forum had a joint meeting at Ardkinglas Estate, taking in a view of some of the native woodland work that Scottish Native Woods have been involved with at Ardkinglas.
The participants had a lively session on the impact of forestry expansion on the farming sector. John Semple, Regional NFU Chairman, and Sid House, FC Conservator are listened to by Andrew Barbour, a past Scottish Native Woods trustee. Andrew has just been appointed to head the Scottish Government's Woodland Advisory Group, which will be looking at the balance between woodland creation and farming activity.
After the forestry session, the participants moved on to inspect some shearling blackface tups from Pole Farm (before a final stop and a tasting session at Fyne Ales).
