[QUOTE="Grass And Grain, post: 7781053, member: 23184"] Wow! AHDB are guarantors in the ownership structure of RT, but even one if their owners don't think RT is currently worthy of ANY funding. Made my day. I can't really see how RT need any funding from AHDB. What was it, £250k ish? Cereals voted to stop the RT funding a few months back, this time it's ALL the funding. What does that mean? Not a decision taken sector by sector, as it's been a blanket decision, so a broader decision taken from the top? VERY, VERY embarrassing for RT (and NFU). The wonderful RT brand that's desperately important to UK ag, yet our AHDB have put a stop on their funding unless RT come up with a credible spend of levy payers cash. Well done AHDB, they've listened to us farmers, and acted. RT obviously not considered a good use of cash. Wonder how RT press office is going to try to spin its way out of this one! RT is slowly crumbling, and so it should - at least in the cereals sector, where it gives us nothing but higher costs and double standards. Given that some levy payers are not RT assured, and RT have worked to cut off markets for those levy payers, I hope AHDB see sense and never give RT any more of OUR MONEY. Most farmers I talk to (to be fair, not everyone) dislike RT. [/QUOTE]
