Anyone growing OSR has no choice but to pay red tractor

Sorry I made a cock up with my screen shots there and couldn’t get it to work a 2nd time.

the upshot of it though is without paying rt there is no price for OSR!

Not bothered but for that I will be leaving rt this year. Only sell 1 load of rape and feed all barley wheat so only assured for the rape
We will be leaving the rt beef scheme as I cannot see any advantage to staying. I have asked red tractor to quantify the financial advantages but so far they have declined to reply.

Cereals I will leave once a way is found to circumnavigate the control over market access that rt have engineered.

I think we may well leave the Beef/lamb and cereals even though we produce a reasonable amount of corn.I don't agree with a private company running a cartel which has created a situation which prevents you selling non assured.Yet unassured grain and meat floods into the country often treated with products banned in the UK
This is not a level playing field and being a member of RT is disadvantageous.

That's why they didn't reply, they are all engaged in trying hard to make sure you can't.
They are working hard behind the scenes to justify themselves and make a case up as they see the sh!t hitting their fan very soon...much like we do when we tick their silly childish boxes and date them.
The school asked my ten year old granddaughter to come up with a project so I put this task over to her to do for me last year. Gave her all the sheets to tie up with weather records and baiting times, the whole lot etc. She just had to ask me a few questions to get her started. When she finished she just presented it to me to sign off. School was quite impressed with it all. What an utter waste of the jobs for the boys time plus our own valuable time, all to certify our crops which they at RT know is a complete fraud too. The whole thing is completely laughable but for the fact we are footing the bill.
