I suggest you read what I posted.

The OP @Clive hopes it's going to be an expose on RT , what about the collateral damage to meat industry.

I am not a fan of RT.

I’m not Clive. So why reply to my post and talk about what someone else is saying. Except as a distraction to get away from the NFUs unconditional support of Red Tractor.

If you want to argue with Clive. Quote him. If you want to discuss why NFU support Red Tractor. Then let’s carry that on. You say you aren’t a RT fan and you are in the NFU. Can you explain their support. As I don’t get it.

Was no distraction.
Didn't know you had to support 100% with an undying love any organisation your a member of.

Does that mean all RT members have to support them in the same way? Clive doesn't seem to?

To be fair there are loads of farmers who are NFU members but despise RT .
When I've questioned them they say " well th NFU isn't just about RT" and I suppose they are right .

But not one seems to be able to answer the question of why the NFU support Red Tractor. Including Tom Bradshaw when I asked him this at CropTec.

I agree that not all need to like something to support it. But the question still stands. Why do they?

I despise RT, but have no intention of dropping my NFU membership over it.
I only see NFU Cymru doing good work getting folks involved with the WAG support scheme consultations, which I consider of far more relevance than RT at this time tbh.
