Scots farmers suffer their worst 12 months
THE HERALD reports on the plight of Scottish farmers over the past 12 months.
It finds a situation where many farmers have had to borrow heavily while seeing their incomes plummet. To cap a long line of problems, from bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) to the strength of the Pound, this summer has proved one of the wettest ever, making the harvest especially difficult.
