red tractor

Just thought I'd share with you all the privilege I've had with dear old red tractor. So as most of you know I've been due a spot inspection. I try and keep my personal life off of here but for the purpose of this I'll share a bit, my partner of nearly 6 years was blue-lighted to hospital on...

As above.!! Make some noise with the questions and make people feel the mood of REAL Farmers. You have a platform, get out there. No doubt the great and the good are there and a lot of media outlets too, talk to them and tell them how we all feel. WB

Just listened to the farming today on radio 4. There was an interview the Welsh first minister and Christine Tacon about the report into red tractor. Neither interview was a good listen for working farmers, each in their own way has a major influence over the industry, but listening to them...

Thankfully, I never had to be involved in Red Tractor. Does not Red Tractor amount to a restraint of trade?

Watch video using link at bottom of this post. Right at the end, talking about CEO of Red Tractor, if the job came available, Minette says "who would want that job if it did come up". Not only that, but Minette, who's known for being a big supporter of RT, says she wouldn't want the job either...

Hi, As part of my final year dissertation at Harper Adams, I am looking into Stakeholders perception of farm assurance schemes within the UK. If you are a farm owner/manager I would really appreciate if you could spare 5 minutes to answer my survey! Thank you in advance! :)...

https://www.fwi.co.uk/news/sack-the-board-if-you-sack-me-says-red-tractor-boss Can't say I disagree with him on that, fire the lot of them... Get some people in that care about the farmers they are supposed to be working for, not the supermarkets which they have decided to work for instead.

Thanks to all who have joined.

From some conversations I’ve had recently, I’m getting the feeling there’s some panick in businesses that rely on farming customers that large scale SFI options could become very popular. For instance, suggesting that it wouldn’t be moral, or that you wouldn’t be a real “farmer” if you take...

Heard it on youtube this morning from an Aussie farmer How true it is

BNG and planning permissions ? More and more requirements?

Maybe we are getting this wrong. Double the Red Tractor fees and spend all the money on a marketing campaign. But... "If it doesn't have a Red Tractor on it, it's cheap stuff from God knows where, that has been sprayed and injected with God knows what" That would call out the supermarkets...

The UK faces a general election at some point this year. Farmers all over the world are protesting measures that once explained in lay terms, are simply not inline with how we all wish to be connected to our food supply. In fact if anything there is now more than ever an increased need to...

Two weeks ago I asked for volunteers to help organise a farmers protest. To make the risk-reward of farming worthwhile. JUST ONE FARMER STEPPED FORWARD! In the face of this level of apathy I give up on trying to get (English) farmers to do anything. Indeed, the vast majority of comments on...

… why, with a few exceptions, do you dairy farmers not put your 2p worth in to the environment debates in Agricultural Matters? Are you really ok with the potential threats or syphoning off of your carbon credits under the various schemes ?
