A few things have become obvious in this and other threads:-
Farmers do not see a proper return for the extra work involved for RT.
Consumers do not understand RT, have no idea what it means, and it does not affect the buying decision in the vast majority of cases.
The main union, who after all, are supposed to represent their members, are not listening to their members and this begs the question as to why they are not taking their members views on board.
The whole life assurance will drive some farmers out of the beef business and stop others starting to rear beef.
It really does not affect the way most farmers rear their stock, as most do what is needed naturally for the good of their stock. Adding a paperwork layer does not help the animal.
If this goes through, what assurance are we given that the present rules wil not be escalated?
It may be me, but something smells....
