Farmers from across Dumfries and Galloway have joined forces with NFU Scotland to urge consumers to buy local produce.

The Trust the Tractor campaign aims to educate consumers about where the product has come from, by allowing for full traceability.

"The red tractor symbol is actually there to showcase UK produce both Scottish and UK wide. Very much what you're looking for is hopefully the British flag on the front but specifically the Red Tractor on the back. It's very much about the traceability of the food from farm to packaging."

– Teresa Dougall, Regional manager, NFU Scotland
