[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7894324, member: 54866"] No, with multiple different schemes they will be in competition with each other. It is exactly the same way the dairies are at the moment and some of them are paying a serious premium over regular product. Some other livestock schemes also exist. Red tractor is the default, bottom of the pile and means fudge all category. Your RT, as it stands, offers no benefit to anyone. If multiple schemes were to exist offered by different buyers, they would have to offer a distinct premium for it or no one will bother to sell to them under those standards. For arable farmers who are concerned about the idea of multiple competing assurance standards, they need only look to the nature of the beast in the dairy and livestock sectors. There are farmers out there who are happy meeting far more exacting standards than RT and they are paid handsomely for it. What is true is that the livestock sector, particularly the sheep, beef and dairy side, will all have to up it's game anyway with respect to infectious disease control as the product pipeline isn't there any longer. This will happen and is happening independent of ded rektor. [/QUOTE]
