I'm finding the thread about the grain marketing fiasco educational but struggling with the acronyms - AHDB, All Have David Browns ?, AIC - All Is Chaos? etc. Could I prevail on the mods or the first users of acronyms to say what they stand for ? My grain growing days were during the Home Grown Cereal Authority era so I guess I'm well out of date, or do they still exist ? Thanks

I would like to illuminate you but I’m off to see if the ACRs are working and the AI man has done his stuff

There was a woman who worked for RPID who communicated entiurely with acronyms. I came across what I am sure she would like me to referred to as a "scholarly article" that was written entirely in acronyms (or at least that was my impression) and I recognised the writer immediately!

One of my landlords had this on the back of his low loader wagon. It was my 14 year old daughter who told me what it stood for!

An alarming trend that's started to creep into my profession is to start replacing repeated letters in acronyms with powers. So it's not MMPC, it's M^2PC. ie M squared PC.
