Abstract

The article reports on the Scottish Agricultural Wages Board's proposal to increase the minimum wage of farm workers by 2-3 percent. Consultations on the proposals will run until June 10, 2012 and the revised hourly rates will be effective starting October 1, 2012. According to the National Farmers Union (NFU) Scotland chief executive officer (CEO) Scott Walker, the farming industry needs to ensure that it can pay its workers not only in 2012 but in the future.
