Please see below results from a recent poll of British Farming Union (BFU) members...

Question: Which best describes your feelings about Red Tractor’s Greener Farm Commitment?

1: I am content for Red Tractor to introduce this voluntary module (0.7% of the vote)

2:
I am content for the GFC to be introduced, but think the contents needs scrutinising (3.4% of the vote)

3:
I do not wish for Red Tractor to introduce the GFC, and any plans to introduce the module should be scrapped with immediate effect (95.7% of the vote)

As a result of this poll, the BFU are recruiting farmer members who wish to join together and negotiate change with farm assurance schemes.

We'd like you to join as full BFU members, because the £10/annum membership fee helps run computer systems and other campaign work.

However, we need all interested farmers to work together, so to ensure we don't lose anyone there's also a FREE sign-up option to join the Assurance Negotiating Group.

This is a real chance to work together and speak as a single voice. Please get on the phone and tell all your friends/ neighbours. We will no longer be dictated to or poorly represented.

Advert in this week's Farmers Weekly....

I can’t join as I haven’t got a SBI/FBN number. Whilst I own some land and farm the rest on various agreements I have never had a holding number as I’ve never made and area payment claim etc. I can understand that you only want genuine farmers to join but this hurdle excludes me. I’d like to think that there were plenty of people on here who could verify that I was a farmer, I’ve shown enough around in the past ( eg @Clive ), but until this is addressed I can’t sign up unfortunately.

Hi Simon,

If that's the case (active farmer), then I can't see a problem. Any genuine cases like this can be looked at on an individual basis. I'll DM you.

Farmers must be able to have the choice to access free markets without entering any scheme such as RT and sell their produce to equal or lower standards of imported produce. There must not be a discount on UK produce compared to imported produce. I don't trust RT, AIC, BRC and the rest of them such that they may lie pretending the standards of imported produce is higher than it is in reality in an attempt to persuade the farmer to think RT is an easier option to sell their produce.


I don't trust RT,AIC,BRC and the rest of them as they will say anything so long as the farmer continues to be coerced into a dictatorship scheme. They know once the farmer isn't coerced into a RT assurance scheme(crop farmers) they will lose their money. They know the consumer is not going to pay enough premium for RT to be worthwhile for the farmer. That's what it's all about, farm assurance inspectors, the people who dream up dictatorial assurance standards,RT,AIC,BRC are all doing it for the money. They have been parasites, jobs for the boys, taking money off the farmers. Some say we still need assurance schemes BUT not coercion into a scheme! Choice yes, coercion no ! There won't be sufficient premium for the majority of farmers to enter a scheme short to long term anyway.


I also think we have been lied to about net zero, carbon dioxide and other environmental schemes in RT for the reasons below this paragraph. It's an absolute disgraceful lie and tyranny that farmers are forced into environmental schemes that costs the farmer a loss of income and more hours of work. I don't know if RT,AIC,BRC and the rest of them are aware of this but it wouldn't entirely surprise me if some of them knew this including the information below this paragraph.





I appreciate climate change happens over the centuries however I'm inclined to think the elites are lying about fossil fuels and carbon dioxide are contributing to climate change in order to suit their agenda. Carbon dioxide is good for the trees and plants! I suspect the elites are overestimating about temperature rises and sea level. The elites have been pushing this narrative for decades and yet sea levels have not submerged land that was claimed would happen decades ago. There are scientists who don't get a voice on elite controlled media to say humans, fossil fuels, carbon dioxide aren't responsible for climate change. I don't trust unelected John Kerry (Skull and Bones Bohemian Grove) with his climate change talk.


Klaus Schwab has now said on camera the world governments need to pass governance to the WEF and corporate businesses. This is not conspiracy this is PROOF and anyone who doesn't think this is sinister is of low intelligence and their opinion is not worth listening to. The WHO with Bill Gates having been second highest funder of WHO wants world governments to pass governance to the WHO over medical matters. This is sinister again. What was once viewed as conspiracy nonsense has proven to be FACT. Bill Gates wants people to eat his rubbish meat alternatives and thus destroying farmers production profitability. People are waking up, there are dark forces at play now.


Perhaps you know, 9 11 was done by unconventional means. Watching 9 11 videos, solids falling under gravity can't possibly turn to dust in mid air. Dr. Judy Wood and Andrew Johnson's credible research thought some sort of energy weapon was used . They also think some of the elite can control hurricane movement as demonstrated on 9 11 and thus the weather. It's a known fact humans can manipulate weather, the question is to what extent?


Please do research before dismissing what I say especially the information that I say is proven fact. Thanks Charles
