[QUOTE="Grass And Grain, post: 7792582, member: 23184"] They thought funding RT was a great idea, bringing consumer confidence etc. Members of staff from AHDB sit on the RT boards and they are company guarantors to RT. They didn't stop to think they were funding a private company which worked to cut off markets for levy payers. Levy payers either needed to join RT (and have that extra layer of cost) to gain the exact same market access as imports that didn't have any FA requirements imposed on them, or alternatively if the levy payer wasn't prepared to join RT then they now couldn't sell their grain to a simple local feed mill. It was obvious backing RT was going to cause this. A marketing and developmemt board which has helped cut off our own markets vs easier access for imports. Words fail me. Still, let's look forward. AHDB need to get us (grain sector) same market access that imports can have - via a pesticide declaration. Then with a bit of reform, we'll love the AHDB, and everyone is happy. [/QUOTE]
