DEFRA consultation on the future direction of the AHDB.

[B'o'B]

@AHDB Cereals and Oilseeds @AHDB News

Could you please enlighten The Faming Forum why there has been no mention of the DEFRA consultation from you on this forum, or anywhere else?

I am sure you will be aware that question 15 askes about the future of the ability of levy payers to be able to ask for a ballot on the levy. (See https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/question-15-defra-consultation-on-the-ahdb.359547/)

Could you please also explain why the AHDB have launched registration for there own consultation process now, when the actual consultation won't start until Q2 2022. Is this a deliberate tactic to distract from the DEFRA consultation?

Thank-you in anticipation of your explanations.

They'll probably have to first consult with AIC, RT and NFU before they give you a reply.......!!! They all seem very very close

Still no mention of the DEFRA consultation from the AHDB on TFF.

Come on AHDB we are your levy payers, surely you should want us to engage with the DEFRA consultation?

If not, why not?

I suspect it all hinges around Question 15, hence the non engagement.
It does not look good does it, that and your involvement with the Cartel too.
May as well have a vote now before you remove our right to vote

There was a link somewhere on here, as I filled it in especially question 15!

I attended an AHDB event last week. One of the staff spent quite some time talking about their upcoming consultation next year. Not a word about the DEFRA one going on right now though.....

In spite of assurances that they have changed . It is still the old AHDB who never have responded to posts or emails and never will. What's changed not them. Why don't they understand that this behaviour only alliterates them from the farming community and causes resentment. Apart from that its downright rude! they think they are above talking to us, I would remind them what happened to potato and horticulture sectors. I know they are trying to prevent a vote like this in the future. Make sure they are still accountable to us, don't let them take the vote away!

They should be embracing the vote. They are (supposedly) only there to serve our needs so checking they are achieving that should be fundamental.

@WillJAgri as @AHDB Cereals and Oilseeds and @AHDB News have refused to engage with me on this maybe you could explain to TFF why AHDB failed to mention the DEFRA consultation on TFF while it was running and instead chose to muddy the waters by promoting the AHDB’s own consultation (that still hasn’t even started yet).

No replies from AHDB. It's so annoying. Can't they see the damage they're doing to themselves. All it takes is a reply.

Suppose they can't explain why they've heavily promoted one survey, yet failed to even mention the other.

it smacks of looking after their salaries rather than working for interest of levy payers.
