    Is the “Heyday” period of contract farming coming to an end.

    Do any other TFF members think the above is correct , due to the new payment schemes that are being put in place for farmers/ estate owners. Will it mean less “contract farming opportunities”, which may lead to greater competition between those applying to contract farm those “fewer contract...

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. As Olly suggests, if all farmers drop the full RT standard, and move to the new...

    AHDB council "vote"

    I had a email this morning asking me to vote for existing and 2 new council members None of the candidates I was ask to vote for have been nominated / seconded by farmers so I don't see that is actually a democratic process at all - its more a ratification of AHDB's interview and recruitment...

    Assured grain price vs non-assured

    As there's been so much discussion on here about Red Tractor lately, I was wondering what the difference is between assured and non-assured grain.
