Not really. If retailers want producers to meet extra criteria to sell as a ‘premium’ product then they can demand their suppliers meet that criteria, as they do already.

Where is David Handley given agriculture is going through its greatest inflationary pressure that I can ever remember.

A new union would be good for a period

A bit like a West Country Farage, he’s still writing in his local paper, which is posted on Facebook on the FFA group. You still get shouted down and/or posts deleted if you criticise or disagree in any way.

Retailers don't demand it. It has become the norm through threats and blackmail by the non farming union who own RT and feed off us.

Completely agree. If the retailers want special production methods, they should determine that themselves, administrate themselves and and pay for it themselves.

In a year where Nitrogen fertilizer is £650/ton I reckon there may not be a huge quantity of milling wheat grown as it needs extra N to boost milling quality
now I don’t know the figures but I’d bet U.K. won’t be self sufficient in milling wheat next season
so that will be interesting

Then why can I not find a market for any non RT milk?
It all has to RT or it doesn't get collected

Most ‘premium’ products are produced to extra criteria, organised by the retailers/processors.
RT is just the base level used, who’s standards the processors could enforce themselves if they were bothered enough. It adds nothing.
I'm the same in that my only interest is beef and lamb but we have to go for the weakest point first. Once the dam is breached then hopefully the whole thing will collapse.

Exactly . No point in RT what so ever.

Exactly but only for a period. I’m no fan of the NFU and I’m not going to pretend that Clive’s revolutionary overtones don’t make me salivate… but it might be a case of being careful what you wish for. All organisations wielding power end up attracting the same types of people who are currently leading the NFU and RT. How do you stop that from happening? Can you?

Isn't this exactly the same as Corgi or Oftec registration?
I am sure there are plenty of others
I do not agree with much of what you normally say but you are bang on here. I have seen it first hand and it makes no difference what the type or politics of the organisation are. And sadly I think we are in a time when 'good men' or 'good character' are non existent. The best I have come across are always doubtful of themselves and concerned by their own biases, the officials, politicians etc of toady are convinced of their own views. Oh dear.
