her CV is utterly terrible - these jobs are clearly very much about who you know
GFC was to go ahead - now not going ahead

let's not worry about credit - its results that matter and fianlly BFU / the farmers of social media are getting listened to
rather ironic that those that (literally) created this problem now seek the glory for fixing it however I agree !

Without TFF, @onesiedale , @CornishTone and I would never have met and so would never have pushed AHDB ourselves either. The TFF GG wouldn't exist and the group of us pushing for GWP* adoption wouldn't exist either (so AHDB would almost certainly not have changed their website and taken on John Gilliland).

TFF has achieved exactly what I set out for it to do - give farmers a voice of their own / organise themselves to exchange knowlage and make change either at their own farm level or the bigger more political issues that affect them
every single member here is a part of that

Hopefully not us.
they have confirmed (on record) this is not the case

True but the Minister (who sanctions AHDB and many other board appointments, levy increases etc and should be seeing value for money criteria as opposed to creative surveying of "farmers") must see BFU and give equivalence of recognition in the future. Thus visibility is important

No mention at all of BFU !
I feel J.Stanley is just jumping on the bandwagon trying to take the credit.
Blenkiron........................the less said the better.

And RT,NFU and AHDB would have ploughed on regardless if it hadn't of been for a few members of the TFF and subsequent BFU.
AHDB would still be giving £250,000 as a donation to RT raised from farmers levies.So,in practice, farmers were paying twice for RT.
Jim Moseley, BRC and AFS would of been ramping up the GFC and probably demanding more and more requirements of membership as the food retailers passed the costs onto the farmers whilst stealing their carbon credits to offset against the emissions created by importing food.
Why the NFU and AHDB didn't challenge this is beyond me.
Well done to everyone from the BFU who fought this,you have my gratitude.

I see blenky is still spouting sh!te
Elsewhere, Andrew Blenkiron, director at Euston Estate in Suffolk, said he would be “incredibly disappointed” by any decision to cancel the GFC and highlighted the fact that it was a voluntary standard.
“If we are not careful our customers will buy from elsewhere in the world from those who will produce to their requirements,” he said.
What a .........
Most end customers buy on price. End of !
I buy British if I can............and try to avoid anything with a RT sticker on.
I suspect he is eyeing up his next career move, onto the helm of a gravy train. That is the only reasoning I can come up with for such a stupid comment.I see blenky is still spouting sh!te

There is very good summary of the whole red tractor/GFC mess on the kite pod cast this week, worth a listen even for the nine dairy farmers this week

I thought they already was importing a fair bit at their requirements, unfortunately their requirements are as cheap as possible with not a care in the world for anything else.

that's a good shout ....imagine the headline....'red tractor appoint farmer as head'.. ...'outgoing chief Christine tacon hailed the appointment saying . 'we've listened and farmers now have one of their own to take red tractor forward'

He is leaving Euston Estate and heading approximately 4 miles West to the Elveden Estate. Either way his comments suggest his snout is firmly rooted in a trough.
that fact that the only “farmer” (stretching things !) they can find to offer any defence was on their payroll !
