[QUOTE="Austin7, post: 7493889, member: 42100"] Goweresque, thanks for your warm words. Once again I remind you I have spent nearly ten years criticising AHDB Potatoes, I have no time for those who have so failed the industry. There is no intended arrogance and no anti democratic intention in proposing that the industry retains the ability to act collectively. In my opinion the Potatoes sector should have an opportunity to vote again next year with the rest of AHDB. Clearly a consensus has to be found which is different to the one that has so obviously failed. I have said that should be based upon subscription and that the issue of free riders has to be addressed. There are a number of ways the Minister can cover this issue. If we fail to get support for a fundamentally reformed body in next year's ballot so be it. I believe I am allowed to hold this opinion without being abused. Lastly may I suggest that you do not know what growers had in mind when they voted for or against or indeed abstained in the ballot, the question we were asked was only on the "THE statutory potato levy" Given that you contest this fact I attach my unused ballot paper.
