Clive you know yourself that to avoid conflict then keep it simple, you posed a question which would actually be illegal if you launched a scheme that matched produce standards from abroad that would be illegal here. The issue is so emotive and affects all farmers that I suggested a poll...

RT consultation isn’t being held in bites and we are stronger with a single voice. Anyway I’m being Drawn back into a wider debate, I’ve shared my opinion as someone on the outside. Best of luck.

For clarity Chris, my point was by doing a poll for cereal only is not as strong as a collective poll of RT members as a whole. I didn’t say RT should do a simple poll, I said I thought It would have been better for TFF to do a more simple poll (not RT) that reflects the broad view of all sector...

@MrNoo its clear the majority of farmers have had enough of RT, I don't have an issue with TFF collating views, polls, opinions etc my problem is @Clive and @Chris F have presented a poll that will be seen as a reflection of the TFF big picture whilst ignoring the fact its blocked many RT...

Edit - sorry @DrWazzock I didn’t read it properly and focused too much on the mention of another “assurance scheme”! Yes agree in relation to a national “scheme” then yes I’d support this, each load goes with a consignment note with the unique number, website to show what it means. Ignore import...

Now this is where I would suggest Clive should really focus, not by polling the lemmings but setting up an alternative option for those who have the desire for change and prepared to back their convictions. The struggle would be in producing a scheme that replaced RT rather than reflected RT...

As is listening to everyone complain like f**k and do nothing about it. (Edit). I urge everyone to take part in the consultation and see if it delivers on its “promise”. If it does I’ll consider rejoining, if not then nothing lost.

My point is has always has been, stop your whining and do something about it, the vast majority on here won’t take part in the consultation let alone carry out their threat to boycott RT, if your one of them then good luck to you. Change is what you make it, sorry if the truth annoys you.. I’ll...

So it could be 10 of us visiting the thread 1900 times. In any case those are high figures but an extremely low response rate in % terms.

Clive you keep spouting on about “visits” - how many “visitors” do you get a day, likeiwse, as I asked earlier (no reply), you say that thread had 19000 “visits” but that could have been 10 of us doing 1900 each. So how many actual different visitors do you get each day. If it helps I have...

Which is why I left

And here lies the biggest issue, the problems are immense and different problems to different individuals. There is no silver bullet despite being encouraged to think there is.

Woolly quoted a £ tonne which surprised me. Thanks for equating the scheme to an actual cost as that’s solid evidence, not even Clive knows his costs of RT.

If you left then it would be finished, but with 46000 members I'm not so sure it will happen, even if 45,000 are unhappy.

So as long as RT wheat is £1/tonne over non assured you will stay with RT?
