As above. Interested to see the answer to the above simple question. I think the current consultation is merely tinkering at the edges. I can only speak for cereal farmers but interested in responses from all farmers to get a sense of feeling as it seemed other sectors were disappointed with the consultation.
As a cereal farmer I want them to set up a simple, free "tickbox" grain passport rival to Red Tractor and to try and do more to save/reregister essential, safe agchems, such as CTL. Most of what they do is in no way useful to my business. The recommended list is in desperate need of reform and there is a lot they could learn from the PGRO and BBRO who are also levy based organisations but much more help to the farmer. I don't want to see AHDB cereals abolished at this time as I think they have a lot of potential for good but unless there is serious improvement and soon, I will reluctantly back that motion.
Feel free to add any thoughts of your own. Who knows, someone at that organisation might read it? perhaps the head of engagement?!?!?
