Image source, SNSRoad closures and access issues as a result of the bad weather have been causing problems for dairy and livestock farmers across Scotland.
NFU Scotland President Andrew McCornick said: “The immediate impact of this is that many dairy farmers are not getting their milk collected and are being forced to dispose of it in their slurry after a days’ milking.
"We are hopeful that collections for these farms will return to normal at the weekend but with the weather being so unpredictable it is hard to say."
He added: “The bad weather being experienced across the country is further proof of what a difficult but vital job our farmers, crofters and growers do, as they continue to brave the arctic conditions to keep Scotland’s food chains running and shop shelves stocked."
