Ar£h*les have been telling us farmers we will have to farm better for all of my life ie: many decades, Abviously we are clueless ignorant pesants who no nothing (or is it them). I mean, look at animal farmers, they have apparently just been throwing animal poo away to get rid of it unknowingly until lately some bright spark with a meanigless degree has discovered it is useful, Who would have thought that in the last 8000 years. :banghead:

Might be wise to edit that post 🤦 It might bite you on the a**e in a big way.

Why? They are corrupt. They are forcing UK farmers to trade under conditions that they do not ask from imported produce. There is zero justification for coercing Red Tractor ( a private company) onto grain transactions in the UK.

It's absolutely repugnant and it's true. A highly highly dishonest practice.

Definition of corruption: bribery, extortion, cartel, abuse of power, cronyism. It's all on show

Well if you are correct see if you can get it as a headline in the Farmers Weekly and Farmers Guardian with an article on it. That would put the cat amongst the pigeons!

We should be paid to grow protein crops in the UK.The
reasons being they displace unethically grown imported
soya crops but unfortunately beans ,peas ,lupins etc can be
unreliable over here so an incentive is needed to grow the
required acreages.

No an area payment on the land growing protein
crops ,much better value than carbon credits .
£200 an acre should cover it and yes I'm being deadly serious.
It would cut down the UK's dependence on manufactured nitrogen
and at the same time be a massive achievement in reducing the
demand for destructive imported soya.

Ah, some kind of area based, protein crop suppliment. Payed for centrally, perhaps via our subsidy forms......will never catch on.

Course I won't.

But I can see double standards and coercive behaviour very clearly. The evidence is resounding unless you choose to look the other way.
