Good to see you back white rabbit. I think back to June last year when you started this campaign, no one could believe it possible to expose the discontent about the ahdb. Now others on the forum are seeing that may be Red tractor and the NFU have a similar belief that they don't need to listen to their members. I hope they take note of this result. Farmers are not here for their benefit its the other way round from now on.We have put a press release in the farmers guardian tomorrow which is worth a look, most people would already have seen we have yet another obstacle thrown in our path, these people at ahdb couldn’t lay straight in bed, first they encouraged us to have a ballot , no sorry wrong wording, they taunted us in to having a ballot, then when we caught them by surprise in winning they turned to the history books to dig out the old pmb stunt of weighting which of course worked for the pmb, they also managed to discount a number of levy payers who could not afford to pay , even though they had paid for the last 12 years, guy told us there were none so we have done some arm twisting now it appears there were 138 ,which you can assume they would have been no voters , you wouldn’t vote for another invoice when you couldn’t pay the last ,now they are saying it will to carry on for another year , more money into the pension pot and another £28,000 out of my bank . I just hope other sectors are watching, what was their slogan a vote every 5 years don’t make me laugh.
