Join the BFU and with enough support they'll strip the guts out of RT and the rest of the quangos on our backs.
No more spending hundreds of pounds and a week stressing with the dining room table full of paperwork when you could have that time and money spent with your families.
BFU needs big numbers to see these thieves off and be able to market our produce as we used to.
All leave RT and the buyers can't do anything about it. They'll have to fill the supermarket shelves come what may. Support the BFU, the only union which is not actively against us but striving for our freedom.

Worse than worthless as you can negotiate a bigger discount yourself.

Can have my vote, and dads, and brothers. Three holdings. Three votes. All to shut it down. Happy to send a letter c/o bfu to hold until they have enough.
So join up, make those 'theys' into 'we', get stuck in, make a difference!!
I think first high praise and grateful recognition must be given to the BFU and @Grass And Grain for uncovering the disgusting deception being perpetrated by our so called industry representatives
This thread would not be here to inform us without their efforts
Yes, the BFU could advertise themselves better
Yes, the farmers weekly is managing to shake off the well earned yellow comic reputation it had earned
Yes, every active farmer in Britain needs to be made aware of the contents of the greening module
Yes, every farmer in Britain needs to know how rotten and unfit for purpose the leaders of RT, the NFU and possibly the AHDB have become
I don't know how to get this information beyond the walls of TFF and it's covert cousin the BFU, but there are those that do know. If they're reading this thread, please help
If our way of life is to survive, it's time to cast out the self appointed bureaucratic parasites purporting to represent our views, all while they line their own pockets

Today's FW:
So the report Andersons did for RT looking at the financial impact on producers concluded it would cost them significant money unless you use SFI to offset it (still results in a loss and you could do SFI to get the money WITHOUT being RT) and a mythical "premium" paid by buyers
Sound familiar? Weren't we all good at the start of assurance that we'd get a price premium from the market? Did we?
The businesses standing to make a profit from this look to me to exclude farmers who will do all the work.

I fail to see why SFI income should be included in that table. The farm would already be providing something for the SFI payment, it should not be subsidising the GFC.

Precisely.
Take that way and it'll a financial loss to the producer all the way.

Other than some farms have used BPS to subsidise food production, without BPS the BRC (shelf stackers) want us to use SFI to subsidise food production

Lucky you. We dont even get a bill, they just deduct it off the milk cheque
That's really not the issue
The soul purpose of the GFC is to provide supermarkets with a process to meet their environmental commitments
The supermarkets benefit for free, while the farmer "accepts" a financial loss
Red Tractor, and whomever voted to accept their GFC proposal, have literally sold the sustainable future of our industry to the retailers
The point is not whether SFI should be used to fund the GFC
The point is that GFC must not be permitted.
Anyone who proposed and accepted the foul stench of fraud that it contains needs to be summarily dismissed because they are not fit to represent our industry

Out of interest, would you be interested in supplying to the GFC standards if there was a genuine premium attached?
