    Will SFI cause a cycle of boom & bust?

    The budget for SFI is the same as when SPS first started. It was about £100/ acre then, which would be worth about £55/ acre now.

    Why do we supply food to everyone?

    Our money is electronic, spending can be tracked, so why do we as farmers feed everyone regardless of their actions. There are forces at work decimating UK agriculture. Surely these people need investigating and a debate had as to whether UK farmers are prepared to continue to supply food to them?

    At our county NFU AGM yesterday, in a discussion of the merit (!) of Red Tractor, Kit Papworth (RT crop sector chair) claimed that RT was responsible for up to £20/t of the wheat price due to the RED declaration- can this possibly hold any truth?

    Red Tractor to launch new basic standard for combinable crops

    See Olly's video (first 3.37 minutes). RT haven't officially said anything about this as yet, but looks like this is coming, although now probably delayed due to RT being on hold until the BFU review is completed.
