theyll tell you it doesn't have a value. Wouldn't want a livestock man making skiing more expensive.......GFC. What is the going rate per hectare permanent pasture?
Not being FA and happy to continue selling through livestock markets what kind of figure should I have in mind when a shiny shoes conman comes calling?
How much a kilo extra do you think they will pay?!Sure. I do not enjoy any part of farm assurance and I am furious that any body that I am a member of either willingly or otherwise should seek to steal my assets. If I am contracted to Morrisons and they are willing to pay for, then surely I am going to at least consider their offer? Would be no different to @Clive Selling his carbon sequestration?
Hence the conman tag. Don’t fret , I have as much enthusiasm for skiing as I do for golf.theyll tell you it doesn't have a value. Wouldn't want a livestock man making skiing more expensive.......
If I was 40 years younger, I'd have a go.There could always be a bit of vertical integration whereby farmers open up in competition with nationwide “farmers supermarket”?
No, but it wants a line 'drawing in the sand' to establish that, if/when these carbon credits become 'a thing', they belong to farmers and not the processing/retail sector and if they want them, they'll have to buy them.Lots of chat about it having a value from those of us who hold what the cartel wants but no one able to put a value on it yet?
If you do a carbon audit under current calculations a livestock farmer has no carbon credits to spare as ruminants are huge polluters. You would have to buy credits in to be neutral or plant half your farm in trees, rewild some and sell off stock.GFC. What is the going rate per hectare permanent pasture?

Are you a live weight man or dead weight?How much a kilo extra do you think they will pay?!
Average cost for a 300 acre mixed farm to comply with the GFC rules will be at least £5000 a year!
So ball park figure say that farm sells 400 prime lambs and 100 prime cattle the premium over the normal market base will need to be at least 50ppk deadweight to cover the GFC costs and also a small profit for all the work/ hassle of doing it!
Will not make any diffrence if you sell liveweight or deadweight if to be assured you have to do the GFC which is what will happen within 3/ 5 years of it being introduced.Are you a live weight man or dead weight?
For sure. I was curious to know if you were dealing directly with an abattoir wether your buyer had already approached you about a carbon audit?Will not make any diffrence if you sell liveweight or deadweight if to be assured you have to do the GFC which is what will happen within 3/ 5 years of it being introduced.
Well I’d never heard of it until last year and I’m from ex farming family.We have a doctor living next door, he was asking how things were going and we got on about our red tractor inspection.
He asked WHAT’S Red Tractor ???
He’s 50 and a GP and never heard of it. Did have to bite my tongue a bit.
Not heard anything about a carbon audit,For sure. I was curious to know if you were dealing directly with an abattoir wether your buyer had already approached you about a carbon audit?
As suppliers of a novel , niche product of unknown demand, they almost certainly have already paid for listing/shelf space and done a deal whereby they receive only a notional price when/if the product is sold. It is a result of such marginal profitability that the high failure rate of such ventures is seen.Oh and in my local Morrisons store the beef/pork and lamb ( Fresh ) is all in one chiller section...
They have just reduced the space for beef/ pork/ lamb in that chiller by 20% and replaced it with meat free/ plant based bacon/ burgers/ sausages etc.. i wonder if the suppliers of these plant based options will also have to do the GFC to supply the supermarket going forwards?
I should have a word with this body as soon as you have some time. https://ico.org.uk/Still not answered my email from October about data sharing.
