Oh you weren't very clear in your postings , as usual,
I was clear in my posting that the evidence in the article i quoted was that Saputo, who have historic issues with discharges, could be to blame. You just made up that it could have been anyone in the area with a blanket statement of accusation. Do you do that when your in your clipboard wielding occupation of being a RHA assessor or what ever you do.
AB are available for any organic farmers to use when required on welfare grounds with and extended withdrawal periods to prevent the residue getting in the food chain. Of course as per the datasheets on these products it states that you should test milk before being return to the food chain after the withdrawal period just in case the cows metabolic rate is slower. This is a new recommendation so previous to this conventional milk could have had residues in the food chain. So you also think it was ok for blanket treatment of dairy cows with DC AB's , something that has always been banned in organic farming?

I really don't know whether to be pleased or worried that you claim to know (incorrectly btw) so much about me-there's a thin line between being a fan and a stalker.
I'm now slightly concerned that I'll be at work on day and Reception will ring "Sid from South Molton is here to see you, Mr ........"

You stated elsewhere that you are a clipboard assessor of HGV drivers.
The equivalent of a RT assessor, with it seems the same authoritarian persona and probably liked as much as them!

If TFF was a pub I think @WelshSmallholder1404 would have got up and gone to another table by now... Anyway if you're still reading this thread, check out "Practical Farmers of Iowa" on YouTube. They have loads of informative stuff about all kinds of farming incl. but not limited to organics.

When someone, no one in particular, is hiding behind their mothers apron , ie. a hidden identity, they can more or less say what they like, in a pub they would get a clout

I have been organic for over 20 years, its not harder than conventional, just different. Sick of infighting between farmers, we are all just doing the best we can and should work together, there are more than enough threats to our industry without us sniping at each other.
