^^^This.
Problem is, the boards are majority retailers/processors/trade, and minority farmers.
Think you're right that it wants half a dozen sensible farmers, and that's how it should have been set up. It wasn't set up like that, control has been lost, and who let that happen?
I can't see a way that it can ever change (under the current RT structure).
Motion/petition to have democratically elected farmer board members, 6 on a board of 10?
I can’t imagine dealing with supermarkets being a lot of fun, maybe they said they aren’t going to buy products from farmers assured by a farmer governed scheme and want their own cronies on the boards?
