There are plenty of threads discussing Red Tractor and it is well documented that the vast majority of farmers join through compulsion because there is no premium.
When freedom foods assurance started, a couple hours extra work to show I was complying with legal requirements, was fine to earn a 5p/ kg d/w premium.
The requirements and costs have grown considerably and the premium has disappeared so what I would appreciate in this thread is knowing what premium you would want to make the RT standards starting in November worth doing given the choice.
I would love to hear from every sector. There are no wrong or right answers as everyone will value their time etc. differently and it depends hugely on the quantities you sell.
