I'll take that as a "no I haven't done anything" then....
The Red Tractor ACCS referendum
- Thread starter Clive
- Start date
As I've said dozens of times, I'm not involved with RT or their inspections. But this sounds like a perfect chance to use the new RT hotline thing that I've read about on here. Sounds perfect in fact. Get it rung if you believe this is what is happening. Posting it on here will get you precisely nowhere.
im sure everything will be in order the day of the announced inspection!
its a utter farce

You're right, I should get on to trading standards who are the regulatory authority.
You should certainly do something other than posting on here.
You agree with me then; most inspections should be unannounced/very short notice

to have any credibility yes
but
i don’t agree a scheme should exist at all when imports carry no FARM assurance
inspection should be by legally mandated bodies like HSE , FSA, EA etc NOT the self appointed, additional red tractor police !
yes - FSA or trading standards
they can inspect without appointments and will ask RT some awkward questions as well
better still email BBC Panorama or C4 Despatches !

No quango comes here unannounced to check if I've ticked the box to clean the loader bucket or to look for a fly in the grainstore however self important they think they are. How pathetic..oh and get a life.You agree with me then; most inspections should be unannounced/very short notice

Take it as how you like
There’s an awful lot going on to deal with the RT farmers profit reduction scheme.
beyond that I’m not privy to say!
Without any doubt, the social media noise has already forced an NFU U-turn IMO and made gold plating impossible, I also strongly suspect the AHDB 250k pa funding is rather unlikely to continue - this is all a result of social media making it clear that farmers do not see value in Red Tractor
That is not enough though and there is stuff going on in the background looking at the legality, discussions with AHDB etc
NFU are losing members over all this and are clearly under threat from others that they will leave if they don't take a strong line on this
how much of this would have happened if the internet had not existed? Frankly most would not even been aware of the consultation, never mind been in a position to make their opinions known
Have you got a new job at NLRTG?

A bit pointless as the RT man is apparently in the factory overseeing it all!
Can't understand why red tractor are so supportive of imports to the detriment of British producers. You couldn't make it up.

NFU phoned today to talk about pensions/investments. I told them I'm currently boycotting the NFU due to their lack of support to farmers with regards to RT. I asked him to make sure he passed the message on to his boss.

It is so obvious that Jim Mosley wants to tighten standards to benefit the processing trade from which he came, just to please his mates.
Yet we farmers are the ones paying for it!
How on earth was he allowed to become Chief exec of RT?
I wonder where and who his next employer will be?
One thing is for sure: I won’t be trading with them, whoever they are!

Yes I'll definitely in the future boycott anyone ex RT. We're talking the 2021 harvest too.

I'm looking forward to finding out if we're all going to get PPI style payouts.
