Ha, got call from Chairman and the other council delegate and comms with Tom Bradshaw. And NFU sec. I am unlikely ever to renew unless something good comes out of this review ie a full retraction and a democratically elected president.

I have not being RT or NFU for the last two years and it really hasn't made any difference. We, as an industry have been sold down the river by all these parasites. There needs to be some serious discussion and co-operation amongst farmers to turn this malicious tide.

This has massive parallels with the current government chaos. Both scenarios are being driven by the elite who think they can walk all over those they represent.

Red Tractor's Greener Farms Commitment.
Turns out it's linked to the "WWF Basket", which wants to reduce advertising spend on meat/dairy, and reduce meat consumption by 20%.
NFU Deputy President said the "principle" of the GFC was good. Seemingly, if what F Weekly has printed is correct, they will have known about the GFC being introduced to back up the WWF Basket.
I can't understand how any farming organisation would help WWF/Tesco when their blueprint is to reduce meat intake by 20%. It will devastate our industry which is already under massive profitability pressure with BPS vanishing.
It wouldn't just affect England. It would affect whole of UK.
Farming representatives on RT Board have either knowingly agreed to this, or were asleep on the job.
I would be very sceptical on being able to return from 100% sfi, to 100% cropping in years to come if ne, get there teath into your business threw the areas of 're willing that are on the web of defra,, ajcc, is a point in question. I don't trust them govs, change and all that

They only have your best interests at heart, you know.
Think where British farming would be without!
