[QUOTE="traineefarmer, post: 7756876, member: 89974"] The AIC is on the surface a trade body representing the agricultural supply chain. Fert traders, chem suppliers, grain merchants and mills among others. Nothing wrong with that. The problem for farmers and producers is that it also controls and administrates the entire quality assurance chain from our basic inputs to our end markets and our production in between. By exerting control over farm assured producers they effectively dictate where and from whom we can purchase seed, stock, feed, fertiliser, chemicals, etc., and then dictating where we can sell our end products to. There's lots of disquiet at the moment over Red Tractor, the ADHB and NFU and their part in us sleepwalking into this situation, but it is the AIC that sets the standards that RT farms must meet and it is the AIC that allows grain and other products without any chain of assurance to be imported, traded and used by its members to devalue our produce. This list is to expose the people working against us. Do you trade with them? Do you know them? Do any of them have influence in our Non Union? Difficult questions need to be asked! [/QUOTE]
