Copied from the above doc and in several places only refers to min standard legal requirements. Nothing about RT goldplating.
Red Tractor to launch new basic standard for combinable crops
- Thread starter Grass And Grain
- Start date
On that note how will any bulk sample fail.?

To be frank the folks loading a boat in Canada won't want it sent back, they'll make sure it's in spec, but as for all this traceability bollix, it's unlikely to be very traceable at all.
Bit like the central stores here, once your grain goes into a 5000 tonne bin, it's lost, it's in that bulk, but the 28 tonne going out under your account is very, very unlikely to be yours.

If the grain had a TGW of 50g then a 2kg sample would have 40,000 grains in it.
It’s not even 1 grain per tonne on a 60,000t vessel that even makes it to the lab!

Yet I thought we had to keep similar RT records for 7 years. That's odd.

This is dressed up as being a "good thing".
I've slept on it and mulled it over.
I remember a post from a while ago quoting how many farmers and amount of grain in the RT system and who many and how much wasn't (think it was something @Clive said a couple of years ago)
There were far more out than in......
Nothing to do with them giving us an easier option or making markets more accessible.
It's about control.
Getting everybody "in"
Dressed up as a plus for us
What's the king spin Doctor, Peter Mandleson up to these days
They as a business, are trying to increase control/market share/subs. Which is what any business that wants to get bigger would do.....

I suppose it just goes to show what influence BRC has on RT (and what a poor job NFU and AHDB have done representing our interests); RT could have simply sat with the same standards for over 20 years and us, their customers, would be more or less happy (or at least not raising a mob with flaming torches and pitchforks).
Or maybe it’s the ‘corporate effect’. The MD and board can’t really justify having all the separate groups working for them looking at standards and reporting back, and they can’t justify their high remuneration if at each meeting they always decide “Naa, the standards are fine-leave them as is”. They have to FEEL like they are justifying their existence by making a change hence the yearly ratcheting up of standards.
Either way or both, it stinks and must be dismantled- no simply allowing RT to hit the reset button and start again- we know how that WILL go!

Directors fees so they can continue to tell us RT doesn't make a profit. What a scam.
Lots of information available here

And every pointless meeting these rogues convene is for the purpose to continue to ramp up their out of pocket expenses etc. Don't need a meeting ....they're all corrupt and the racket of RT and all of them should be binned. Non Farming Union are complicit in all this praising RT at every opportunity and there are still some that support this union.
It's up to us farmers to do something about it.
so no need to test for that unless you have a gas dryer ?
Sorry, the physical sample is kept for 3 months. The results may be kept longer, but without the physical sample they're pretty worthless.
Thought the same ...This bloke might come in handy.

Practical interpretation I don’t know, someone could ask them I suppose? As read it doesn’t indicate Dioxins being a routine (expensive) test parameter though
From memory I think if the gatekeepers hazard analysis shows there is little risk of dioxin issues then that test is not needed. ie the grain hasn’t been dried.
Same with the other tests.
In Red Tractor we all record that our grain driers have been serviced and checked, so the risk of dioxin contamination is low, therefore no need for a dioxin test
