Red tractor Inspection
- Thread starter super4
- Start date
You get time to rectify any non compliance and if you have stickers you will be fine. I guess if you applied a banned chem to your crop they might ban you straight away but nobody would record such a thing.
Did think about this, but it's one of those things you just want to be over and done with.

I refused an inspection during September last year.
They did suspend me, but the supervisor rang me to check I wasn’t needing to move grain until I had had an inspection.

Move the grain before the stickers run out.

I'd guess you're not farm assured then?

No, Print stickered passports direct from red tractor and they will have a long expiry date on them.

But if the mill was run your number through the system and it flags that you are on suspension and rejects, you will be paying haulage both ways.

They get dozens of passports every day and what are the chances of getting one invalid?.. so they wont be checking them... they didnt on the 18 I sent last spring.
I think the flagging up of assurance status often happens when you sell grain to the merchant. Not when it’s physically moved.
All good thanks. Yes it was GB. They are a dream compared to others.

I used to get him onto a red herring about his former days as a farm manager, so his time was shorter and he wouldn't have enough time to look too deeply! He did fail me on a tiny gap under one roller shutter door the first time he came, probably to prove a point that Ted Dredge wasn't thorough enough.
Good result for you and another ball ache done for the next 12 months

Is that Ted Dredge as in Edwin Dredge from Wiltshire, bit of a stutter?I used to get him onto a red herring about his former days as a farm manager, so his time was shorter and he wouldn't have enough time to look too deeply!

Could well be. He used to (and may still do) demo Case combines and mow for Jeff Comer. I don't know if he is a RT inspector anymore.
