Make sure your trailers and trucks are all in order as the Police pulled in dozens of them on Monday in Exeter just outside the market and hauled them off to Vosa's yard and found faults with nearly every single one of them!

Even found some so called faults with a brand new pick up that only left the showroom last week !
Pretty sure for the first time ever I’m fully legal now so aslong as they pull me on my way out of market I’ll not mind stopping for a chat 😅🤣
4 new tyres yesterday 😎

Dear Woodheads supplier,

In recognition of the great work being done by so many of you already on our Net Zero programme, we are today announcing a new ‘Sustainable Beef and Lamb Scheme’ for farmers. Participating farms will be asked to measure their carbon footprint by our carbon consultant company Map of Ag, test the health of their soils, audit their farm’s biodiversity, and monitor both resources and waste on their farms on an annual basis - and then develop resulting action plans.

We’re working with Red Tractor to assess the programme under their new ‘Environment’ module. This means that any accreditation you get can be used by you for any customer - not just Morrisons. We’re also going to cover the cost of accreditation from Red Tractor in the first year as part of the programme.

But that’s not all: we’re also going to be unveiling a list of free advice from trusted experts you can access as well as discounts on products and services available to farmers who are accredited on the programme.

And we’re starting to offer payment premiums for sustainable beef: this will launch with Morrisons contracted dairy beef suppliers, where a 10p/kg premium will be paid for any cattle finishing under 18 months’ old on a sustainable diet, who are also part of our net zero agriculture programme. We’ll also be extending premiums for suckler and store finisher cattle in the months to come.

We’ll be in touch in the coming weeks with full details about the standard, how you can take part, and importantly, how you can access the incentive packages that go with this.

We know that getting to net zero through sustainable farming is a challenge, but we want to continue to work with you to champion great British food from farms we know and trust.

Kind regards
Woodheads Livestock Team

What a load of tripe, we’ve had something very similar done by our land lord, I’ve got one tractor, everything outwintered, forage crops, all dog an stick, an they said I’m producing 300 tonne of carbon, they blame it on the cows mostly!! So if I’m no good then feck knows what the intensive beef finishers will be up against!! Just another way to put your arm up your back

Just what the public want: supermarket making their food more expensive (and then forgetting to lower it when it miraculously becomes a basic premium-less requirement).

Need I ask if the national retailers union have had a hand in this?

No we are ok. I had one done three years ago we buy everything in, haulage inward doesn’t count! Our score was very low, I sell the muck so that doesn’t count in the calculation either, not like if you spread it on your own land. Intensive farming is the future it appears

Yep and i would add if they want you to do all the above they are asking then the extra payment needs to be £1 a kilo and not a measly 10ppk.

Intresting to see how many farmers they get to sign upto the above bulls**t, i think numbers will be very low!

With such high input prices and such low farmgate prices for beef if these supermarkets are not carefull they will have very little UK beef to buy and Woodheads etc will have no stock to process as many farmers you speak to are generally not happy with the current situation and being made to do something like the above will be the final straw for many!
