[QUOTE="Against_the_grain, post: 6853889, member: 95"] Playing devil's advocate here but haven't the farm assurance schemes increased the quality of uk farms? The end user doesnt give a toss and it makes us less competitive and therefore less profitable but the quality of uk farming is among the best in the world possibly because of farm assurance schemes. Being forced to keep records of everything from waste transfer to rodent control is surely a good thing? How many would keep an accurate record of either if we weren't obliged to? The key and this is where the assurance schemes have totally failed is getting end users to recognise this and pay a premium. The fact that the assurance schemes have failed does unfortunately mean they are a negative when they could of been a huge positive. I should add that I was part of the leaf marque scheme with ADM osr a few years ago. That was quite a bit more intensive than farm assured but was worth £15(?)/t premium. In this circumstance there was definitely value added from being part of an assurance scheme. [/QUOTE]
