Money would be better spent on a 5 minute Youtube cooking shows on the internet with adverts or the show running on mainstream tv half the trouble is people don’t know how to cook
You're welcome to pay my levies and reap the rewards from advertising. If you could kindly send me your bank details, I will set up a standing order.
Most of our lamb is exported, we as a farming business are being bent over for no reason, as are most other farmers who produce export quality lamb and beef.
I am sure the vast majority of farmers would opt out if their was an option.
I'm happy with my levies going to QMS. They're very active and do a good job
Me, I keep my head down and just work with our coop.
An interesting question actually.
@le bon paysan is much more in touch with this kind of thing
I’m not an AHDB employee, however I do try and at least get my levy’s worth back by attending the monitor farm program (I’m on the steering group).Well Phil p I see they said there is a couple of ahdb employees on the forum well a least you have come out maybe you could enlighten us on your salary
If it was optional would you still pay ?I’m not an AHDB employee, however I do try and at least get my levy’s worth back by attending the monitor farm program (I’m on the steering group).
like most things in life, you get out what you put in!

That’s a good question! As it stands I don’t mind paying it, I’d probably scrap red tractor first but that’s a hole different debate.If it was optional would you still pay ?
Given that many wouldn't pay so it wouldn't be able to do half what it does now
PGRO levy is now £ 0.99 per tonne (AHDB / HGCA £0.46), up from 75 pence circa 2012.
Rather then the QMS, you should be thankful to the English and Irish for taking over and operating abattoirs in Scotland, which would have been long shut, demolished and turned in to housing estates. Your livestock marts have tried operating abattoirs and have failed.
Will be a very unpopular opinion on here, however the likes of Larry are your saviour to be honest.
