[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7922229, member: 54866"] Red tractor means nothing in the marketplace. You surely recognise this? Why the heck any dairy farmer would be in favour of RT I have no idea, most of them are obliged to work under far more stringent requirements anyway. Arable farmers are bound by trading standards and the sale of goods act when selling grain. That is ample for the bulk of UK grain that gets moved. If a buyer wants product which is more tightly regulated they can offer a premium for it, but it should be on a voluntary basis. If you feel red tractor is offering a worthwhile premium for your efforts why would you be opposed to multiple schemes offering more of a premium? Surely you recognise that RT is a joke if your are forced to send product under RT only to see it sit alongside non RT product?! [/QUOTE]
