The above is the quote of the thread.
As we have all been saying from day one - and I said to RT when they asked me why I dropped them: we are being asked / forced to pay people to 'assure' that we are doing what the law requires us to do anyway...
RT gives no added value to farmers whatsoever. Every deal you do with anyone in this country holds the term that you are following the laws you need to, whatever they are, if not explicit this is implicit, it's legally cast iron and applies to everything.
Verbal agreement, written contract or what have you, the Courts have ruled this for many decades, it's good law and in and of itself alone makes the whole RT scheme pointless.
Very well done @Grass And Grain and @Clive, we'll get there.

Agree. AIC standard contract (attached) means we agree to deliver grain in such a condition that additional "assurance" given by RT is just superfluous baggage.
and it was pretty much ever thus.
The 'biggies' (F&M , BSE lead in cake to name a few ) Did Not originate from farmers poor product or presentation.

If @gone up the hill up the hill knows where all the others are going wrong, why does he not involve himself and get on the gravy train as he calls it? Some one else could take over reports from the marts so he can concentrate on a new career

I think most of us are aware of your situation but one has to start at the thin end of the wedge. Attacking the fact that dairy members have no choice isnt going to bring RT down, but attacking the unfairness of grain imports will
It wasn't insulting it was condescending, @gone up the hill had one thing right though it was typical.
Perhaps he don't like gravy unlike some othersIf @gone up the hill up the hill knows where all the others are going wrong, why does he not involve himself and get on the gravy train as he calls it? Some one else could take over reports from the marts so he can concentrate on a new career

Thanks. It's not just us two though, in fact far from it.
Behind the scenes there's a group of us working together. Forum members have been compaining about the backstabbing incident, writing to AHDB, NFU, AIC, RT, MP's etc.
Too many people involved to mention individually, but certainly a very determined group effort

Why appeal to the collective not to turn this thread into an NFU debate…… then insult them in the same post?

It’s not that Temple bloke is it?
Thought he disappeared with his tail between his legs about 15 years ago but he seems to have crawled out of the woodwork recently!

You don't have to take the gravy.
Some people actually do these roles because they actually want to make a difference and be involved in decision making.
Majority don't do it for the gravy.

There would be a point to a premium scheme, but it would have to be meaningful and not just a tick box exercise.
