Lodged by Alexander Burnett (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 28 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Jilly Grant, from Newton of Ardoyne, Oyne, on winning the Innovator of the Year award at the National Women in Agriculture (NWA) awards in London; understands that this award recognises her trailblazing achievements as co-founder of agritech firm Herd Advance, which she set up in 2018 with her husband, Murdoch Duncan, at their farm; further understands that these awards aim to strengthen the network of women in UK agriculture and throw a spotlight on their achievements; notes that Herd Advance and its Stockman technology allows farmers to monitor livestock in real-time and to sort cattle automatically, effectively digitising their herds and ultimately giving farmers better data and help with decision-making, and wishes Jilly and her husband every success in the future.
