The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Callum Simpson, a 27-year-old farmer from Mains of Leslie, Insch, on being named Young Farmer of the Year at the Scottish Agriculture Awards; recognises his dedication in committing nine weeks, including over 80 hours in the final stage alone, to a competition requiring a wide range of practical agricultural skills and the development of a detailed three-year business plan; acknowledges Callum's commitment to his family farm since leaving school at 16, where he works with his parents managing suckler cows, breeding ewes and producing barley; celebrates his achievements in winning a new quad bike and a trip to the Oxford Farming Conference, and wishes him continued success as he works towards taking on the family farm.
