Savock Farms of Newburgh Named Arable Farm of the Year

Lodged by Douglas Lumsden Standard Motion 28 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Savock Farms of Newburgh, Aberdeenshire, on winning the Arable Farm of the Year at the recent inaugural awards ceremony; understands that this event was sponsored by AgriScot, the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland and The Scottish Farmer; understands that this is a hotly-contested category and that competition was tight for this prestigious award; congratulates Savock Farm for its cutting-edge, precision technology, which, it understands, has assisted Savock to improve its soil health and reduce its dependency on inorganic fertilisers, while continuing to improve its rolling five-year yield average, and understands that Savock grows a variety of crops for both food and energy production and focuses on the intent to pass the land on to the next generation in better condition.
