As a Scot in Scotland how does it all work. Is it competitive? I read about all these £500/ha options going in on up to 50% of some areas, surely its not that simple? On an arable farm what % could you theoretically do under the various options? We don't know what they are going to do up here...

Governance at Red Tractor seems to be all over the place according to these reports. We've thought RT was out of control. Looks like it is? Question is, is a governance review going to be good enough? Does RT need scrapping? It doesn't seem to be working very well for farmers...

Had a letter informing me I would be paid a visit because I had not attended a course online. Kept the day and time free, my son took a day off work, because I suggested he might like to attend and see these things (he may take over the farm one day). Nothing, nobody turned up, no phone call...

Well done to @AHDB for engaging with us all on here. They have answered some fairly tough and agressive questions on why we should pay levies and the need for an increase in the levies. They have certainly gone up in my opinion, as I was beginning to think we would be no worse off if we lost...

Hello, I hope somebody can help me with this. My family own a small arable farm in East Anglia. Since my dad died we now contract all the land work out to our larger neighbouring farm, including all the spraying. We no longer own our own sprayer. We do however still purchase the chemicals and...

Just attended NRoSO saying spraying/spreading equipment mounted on seed drill will require operator to hold PA certificate for special equipment even if one already holds PA4G/PA4S comments please

I'm livid about this, and I hope British Farming Union will hold NFU, RT, AHDB and the other farming unions to account over it. Read on.... According to F Weekly article, Red Tractor planned to introduce the GFC to help several supermarkets meet their “WWF basket” commitments to source 50% of...

Anyone come across a good template for a sfi compliant soil management plan ?

Written by Eva Osborne-Sherlock from Agriland The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) will host a farm walk for attendees to explore the role of livestock in the arable rotation. The event will take place at Henton Farms, Atherfield Farm, Atherfield Road, Ventor on the Isle...

https://www.fwi.co.uk/business/compliance/independence-of-red-tractor-review-under-threat So both AHDB and NFU have promised independent reviews into Red Tractor to dampen the flames caused by the farmer outrage over Greener Farm commitment plans It's easy to promise such things but HOW do you...

Hello all, Apologies if this is a stupid question... but just wandering if there is any need to join NROSO and what the benefits of joining are? I've only recently got around to doing PA1 and 2, we've had a contractor do the spraying for the last 20 odd years. Looking at potentially doing a...

Had an inspection booked for weeks now she the inspector rings this morning and asks if her boss is ok to come with her and inspect her i told her no its bad enough having 1 of you she seemed a bit put out what am i going to tell him the truth i said said she will have to rebook when i have time...

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

She's clearly biased towards the coporate members of the NFU compared to the farmer members. She's finishing naturally in February apparently but should she still be there today? When she first took over she was on the Red Tractor board and wanted to remain on it whilst being NFU president...
