AHDB POLL

[principal skinner]

Should the AHDB continue to partially fund Red Tractor unless we see a change of direction and an equal to imports level of assurance? Yes or No

 

[texelburger]

No,no no,no...............NO

 

[Steevo]

Anyone else need to put their brain into overdrive when reading the question?

 

[Feldspar]

No

 

[Steevo]

I don’t believe AHDB should fund Red Tractor at all. I don’t see why they should. I don’t see what we as farmers gain from using our levy money that way.

It’s not the clearest

Yes, me.
I submitted my vote and the results came up.
I could see some numpty had voted yes so I clicked on it to see who it was.............. it was me

Luckily there’s the option to change vote

it could be worded better

 

[An Gof]

Question should probably be, Should the AHDB fund RT?

 

[Wooly]

No.

It is definately wrong that a compulsary levy that I have no choice in paying, is given to an organisation that stifles British farming.

Wake up AHDB and stop wasting our money !!

 

[SilliamWhale]

No. RT are a private company.

They can raise their own money in the marketplace for the pleasure of having their board members call their funders backstabbers.

I'm minded to keep voting for the ahdb levy for cereals but then again circa .50p ton adds up to an awful lot of money for them. Can they spend it more widely?

 

[Tarw Coch]

It does make you wonder if ahdb have any other inappropriate uses of levy payers money

 

[principal skinner]

Its
Not worded the best I know but you get the idea!

 

[MrNoo]

Certainly not, we already pay RT once so why the hell should they get another payment via AHDB, so in effect we pay RT twice.
I would have thought the Horticultural vote result should be a wake up call, gather there is a spud one ingoing and what if there was a cereals one, be the end of AHDB, so it maybe in their best interests to withdraw the funding from RT and actually support the levy payers, ie us.
