A leading Scots scientist – currently working in Australia – has been named as the Chief Executive designate to lead Scotland’s new, crop, food and land use research organisation.

Glensaugh, like most of Britain, has had a dry season to date, but enough rain has fallen recently to keep grass growing and to interfere with hay and silage making.

At Glensaugh the main job for late June has been the shearing of our ewes and all are now shorn except the Blackfaces which are not yet ready to shear.
