Pesticide testing is a red herring thrown into the mix by folks like Jim Mosley to try and avert attention from the facts.
the Fact is UK grain doesn’t require and doesn’t have pesticide testing done as we can only use UK approved pesticides by law. And in all the years I’ve been a rt member they have never taken a sample of my grain away for a test.
Secondly red tractor are not supporting a level playing field.
If they were all grain that is produced in The UK would be allowed equal access to homes that imported grain is allowed into without on farm audit. Not just feed corn.
All smoke and mirrors at there end I’m afraid folks.
Edit- just on the subject of testing, the vast majority of uk grain will be comprehensively tested by the mill or other destination it goes to anyway. Can anyone prove that imported grain is tested more thoroughly by an end user on a per lorry load basis?
