Have merged the threads - but that has lost some of the votes. So some will have to vote again, but better than having two threads running. Sorry.
What duffus voted mildly pleased ? 
odd question - I ticked highly disappointed and then realized that that was if it was abolished ................. which I wouldn't be !
This question needs PROPER thought and phrasing for the result will be meaningly - it should also focus on ACCS initially

No. It's highly delighted, not highly disappointed.
The Red Tractor ACCS referendum
The Red Tractor logo or brand does not appear on products that UK cereal growers supply the ingredients for so unquestionably has no value to end consumers of bakery and other cereal products The processors of these products including the likes of Hovis and Warburtons have stated that they have...

There is no love for farm assurance amongst their customers... largely because the assurance bodies have forgotten it is farmers not consumers who are their customers.

British understatement, dontcha know?
Some are disappointed!
I voted Mildly pleased. RT are going too far but we need some kind of audited standard to keep the authorities and retailers off our backs.
You need to accept that not everyone has the same opinion - that would negate the debate in TFF somewhat!

But so far, about 85% on this thread, and 95% on Clive's thread have voted against FA.
And if the NFU membership is of a similar opinion, and if the NFUs are there to represent their members, are they not duty bound to take note? Some chance of that!!!!
One can only hope... There are NFU hierarchy reading TFF. A few regional chairmen posting in here too...

Come on, LF. I know you are already having to comply with a heck of a lot more detailed requirements by your milk buyer as my wife has explained them to me at length; I know how onerous some of these requirements can be for people. RT for you is an irrelevance: the final arbiter is your milk buyer who will in future only be making regulations even tighter I suspect.
Look at the detailed nature of the antibiotic requirements and I can see in time how they will begin to encroach on welfare and even how animals are housed and fed in time (if they don't already even if indirectly). RT does none of that. At least your milk buyer is looking for alternative markets for your product and how it might give some relevance to the consumer i.e. Johnes disease etc.

I know assurance is a PITA, but with the current nutters like vegans and animal rights people on our case, we should not be deemed to be lowering our standards by the public, remember chlorinated chicken!

I voted disappointed because if it went it would be replaced my individual buyers schemes which will do their best to out do each other.
and more importantly animal welfare has improved massively since RT was introduced.it would be a shame to see those standards lost if RT went and not replaced.
They already do in the dairy trade though; started with supermarket contracts and now on to Arla and other dairies. What I resent is RT wants data in one form and my milk buyer another.
