[QUOTE="ExAHDBstaff, post: 7430719, member: 152511"] I can honestly say this bears no resemblance to the organisation I use to work at. The vast, vast majority of staff at AHDB are farming people who have taken a role because they want to work in farming, scientists who for some reason probably known only to them ended up doing a PhD in diseases that effect onions (for example) and a few local people that took jobs in accounts, HR etc. without having a clue what AHDB was. These are not people who believe they are on a gravy train, they are just normal people trying to do a good job. Yes, there are some highly paid people at the top - people might have views on that, or on them as individuals - but whether you like it or not, as soon as you have an organisation with 450+ people you will have these kinds of roles. I came on here to correct lies, I see another one has come in while I was writing this post - to my knowledge AHDB has never used it's legal powers to collect the levy and there has never been a grower "with a bailiff on his tractor bonnet". I don't dispute AHDB should be seen as valuable to levy payers, and I don't dispute that if farmers do not value them then they should vote how they wish. I makes me incredibly sad that WR and co have sought to paint AHDB in the light that they have because that is not my experience, not even close. I simply do not know why there has been a need to lie so much. My presence here has clearly not helped, so I guess I will save myself the bother from now on. Good luck all. [/QUOTE]
