If the likes of Frontier and Openfield started taking non assured UK grain like they do with imported grain Red Tractor would be finished overnight
According to the Openfield website:
As a British, farmer-owned cooperative, we behave differently to other businesses. We provide security, we act fairly, we’re efficient and we create value.
When you commit your grain to us, you automatically become a shareholder. We can use our size, scale, strength and long-standing experience to secure the very best deal for you.
If they really were a proper "co-operative" and are farmer owned.....you'd think it would be pretty easy for the farmer owners (shareholders) to group together and get Openfield to do exactly as you say and start taking non-assured UK grain.
Or is Openfield suffering from the same issues as NFU...? i.e. upper management feathering their own nests to the detriment of those below them.
Typing that made me think of pyramid schemes...!
