Sugar beet loads don’t currently require passports. I stand to be corrected but originally I think the passport was a means of informing the buyer of any post harvest grain treatments.

Yes as well as a declaration that the lorry was inspected and is fit for use, and what the previous loads were as anything else.
It also serves as a back up to double check the correct variety has been loaded on the wagon. More than a couple of times this season have had the wrong variety loaded and only be noticed by the weighbridge staff cross checking passport vs expected delivery.
one delivery could have been very costly to the farm had it contaminated the silos with soft wheat into a hard wheat job.

Well thats a first, Don`t give a sh%t about non rt farmers maybe not able to sell their grain.
The survey will not let non members fill it in.
Out of CONTROL control freaks.

good to see them on the farmers side
however ………. yes there had to be one !
explain this …… in the context of their support for Red Tractor !
“The NFU would not be able to support the proposal if there is a chance that some members will not be able to trade their grain. “
I’m sure there are NFU members growing milling wheat and OSR - neither can be traded without Red Tractor membership
