Everyone, we're making real progress here.
Many of you have been writing letters to all the quangos. Let's step this up a bit, and make use of these letters/emails.
This purpose of this thread is simply to upload any letters you've written, so that everyone else can simply copy and paste into an email to send off.
You may also like to suggest some email addresses to send the emails to (if they are in the public domain).
Please refrain from commenting on this thread, otherwise we'll get bogged down in discussion, and the thread will lose its usefulness. Feel free to like the posts, and subscribe to the thread.
There's lots of PM's going on at TFF behind the scenes, and there's currently complete pandemonium in the farm assurance industry!
YOU can make a difference, by simply using copy and paste.

Good evening. A large and growing number of farmers including myself have been in contact with various organisation in the grain and agricultural industry including the NFU, AHDB and AIC. The purpose of this is to ask the AIC why it sets standards higher for UK/Eire produced grain than it does for non UK/Eire grain to be supplied to mills. And that the standards should be set equal. At present this is disadvantaging UK and Eire farmers and waisting time and money to comply with the unnecessary regulations. We are currently looking into weather these dual standards are breaking UK law in regards to the competitions Act 1988. We would like to ask you to support UK and Eire farmers by contacting the AIC and asking them to set standards for all grain supplied to mills to be equal.
Had a long chat with a grain merchant today. He was actually quite defensive of Red Tractor. Although he made no real distinction between rt and UK standard as a reason to continue with rt.
I think there's a general complacency in the trade as they are used to it and it doesn't cost them anything.
I still believe that it will only take one buyer to take non assured to burst the dam. The best candidate for that will be a feed merchant supplying alot of non assured beef and lamb. If anyone can think of any post them up on here.
Something which came up in the conversation with the grain buyer yesterday was where we send some of our grain, iti
wouldn't matter if it was farm assured or not. But the problem would be with the screenings which go for feed, because the livestock men can't take non assured!!
It's catch 22
Well yes, I suppose they do...They take non assured imported mixes in the cake don't they?

Finally, I would point out that Mr Blenkiron is still a Farmer Focus writer and has actually used his piece online today (and in this week’s issue) to defend Red Tractor. We have been careful to ensure that his position of vice-chair of AFS is specified at the end. Thank you for reminding us.
Kind regards
