Has Red Tractor ever helped the farmer?

As per the title

When there has been any sort of dispute between farmer selling corn, cattle or whatever product it may be to the next person in the chain. has RT assurance ever given proof that the farmer is right and the Mill or other outlet etc is wrong

And in any of these disputes has RT ever been contacted and thrown there weight behind the farmer to resolve things?

As an example we’ve had an odd load of grain not meet required moisture despite having a RT spec moisture meter check. I’ve sorted it direct with the grain buyer but should I have rung RT up and would defend me?

No point ringing them up they never pick the phone up
 
Of course you are all helped by RT. Without it you would all be aimlessly producing very dangerous food that was totally unfit for human consumption, probably doing so illegally. How do you suppose millions of British folk ever got on before farm assurance? I'll tell you: by being poisoned repeatedly and constantly in every kind of food they ate, I'll tell you.
