[QUOTE="Grass And Grain, post: 7761009, member: 23184"] Thanks (and thanks for everyone's support). I'm worried about the NFU. they're researching cost of pesticide tests.Whats more, AHDB levy payers are paying for it. Tom Bradshaw has already intimated it's looking possibly more expensive to do that, than it would be to be RT assured. Is it just a smoke screen? We don't need pesticide tests for UK grain, so why go ro the expense and bother of researching it? AIC accept a pesticide declaration for imports. That's free! Imports use pesticides not licensed in UK, hence testing is maybe required. We've only got UK pesticides, therefore we don't need to test. NSTS, PA1/PA2, etc. Risk based system of pesricide residue adherence, implemented by UK government, government happy with that. It's same reason that RT grain doesn't need pesticide testing. RT pesricide audit audits the farmers pesticide records self-declarations. So it's a self declaration, just the same. RT offers premium brands further environmental, H&S type supplier assurances, that's fine. So why are NFU using our AHDB levy to research Pesticide testing costs? We're not asking for pesticide testing, we're asking for a pesticide declaration :scratchhead: :scratchhead: :oops::facepalm::scratchhead::scratchhead: [/QUOTE]
