Yes they're the people .This is perhaps something that Farmers Weekly might be able to help with? @AM_Arable

Just declare independence then anything you sell would be imported to the UK, don't think its that difficult but the downside is you will get no protection from invasioni actually did research into off shoring my farm business ! not for tax reasons but so i could sell to uk merchants as imported crop

frankly thats the only logical conclusion when they wont tell us what these tests are
its bent as hell all this, people involved need hanging from lamp posts !
Slight exaggeration there! Don't lose sight of the core argument or canny political operators will use it against you!
A farmer owned mill that was a member of AIC would have access to that info.

Taking this a step further. The livestock man who is a buyer of the feedstock should also be able to access this information? Why would he not want proof of no "banned pesticides" in his feedstock?
several of us have been asking / digging and so far we have no answers
no one wants to tell us ………. which is incredibly suspicious IMO
i would love to hear from anyone who knows - 100% in confidence if necessary
AHDB said getting the pesticide test information is proving difficult (not their exact words, but effectively that). Commercially sensitive blah, blah, blah.Would be great if they could do some journalism on this.
I mean why not ask the AIC for an interview to explain why they have their position?
Why not interview one of the testing labs so the livestock man can be reassured that the imports are up to standard of the UK stuff (or down to standard according to the head of the millers)
Yes teslacoils, but equally, in this scenario, why shouldn't livestock farmers aak for this information if this is the standard of grain they are told is in their feed.Because asking for proof that a vendor didn't commit a crime is not how business should work.

Edit, think the suggestion was a method of checking up on AIC and their so called rules.
IF a co op offered equal to imports bulk testing (and i can see no reason why it couldn’t). it’s members would have have no red tractor requirement so could save the cost
why are the co-op stores not doing this ?
@Woldgrain Storage ? have you offered your membership this mechanism to save them RT costs ? if not, why not ?
Dare I say that coop stores should be....cooperating.
I'd drop my accs tomorrow.
So far we have not been approached by any prospective members who are non-assured, or any existing members who would like to drop their assurance. Similarly it has never been brought up in a members' AGM.
Without a major strategic re-think we would not have the ability to segregate our current intake into assured/non-assured.
Also, if some clarity arrives relating to the detail of testing, we would know what is possible and what isn't.
As a cooperative store we are stuck in a triangle between the growers, merchants and mills, but without any of the leverage provided by legal ownership of the grain itself.
A commercial store could just take a big gamble and build storage for non-assured grain without needing to involve AIC/TASCC/RT.
Do you know if your merchant trades non-assured crop?
