Farmers tweet about carrying on during coronavirus

Farmers from across Scotland have made a short video to show that they are continuing to produce food and keep livestock during the coronavirus lockdown.
In an emotional video that captures more than 40 farmers from across Scotland, they speak of what they are doing in the form of a poem.

It begins with a very young farmer who says "Hello Scotland" with the backdrop of rolling hills.

It then continues with short video messages from across Scotland, from Caithness to Galloway, from Angus to Ayr.

In one line, a farmer said: "For generations we have been working from home."

Another farmer said: " We know we will see sunshine again."

It continues: "No-one knows what the future will hold.

"But farmers will keep producing food for the young and the old."

The video continues: "We know it is not easy, but we are all in this together.

"We look forward to times when we can get out to roam."

More than 19,700 people have seen the video since it was posted yesterday by the NFU.
