GFC disgrace: Here's what NFU, AHDB and RT have signed us up for

[Vader]

Most of English lamb is been exported at the moment supermarkets are stuffed with australian, Newzeland lamb.

And gov claims to worry about the climate.. fossil fuel hauling food out and same sort back in..

Steam clean...

Farmer and wedding venue operator James Small and then Will Jackson put up both eulogising and justifying the new increased AHDB levies . No alternative interviewed

Ah so Will Jackson can communicate then. Just not with people when they ask him if he was at the GFC meeting...

 

[B'o'B]

I suspect Will Jackson will now be used to communicate anything that may be less than popular with levy payers for the foreseeable future. Then when he becomes the AHDBs fall guy for GFC they think he will take the flack for all unpopular announcements with him.

For the sake of balanced debate all you need is the “yes please” opinion and the “yes please, thanks very much” opinion .

At the request of the Main (AFS) Board, Red Tractor’s work on an environment module started more than two years ago. One of the purposes of assurance is to deliver maximum market access with the minimum audit requirements. This work recognises increasing market demand for environmental credentials, and the indications that multiple customers will make extra audit demands on farmers. With the full support of businesses represented by the British Retail Consortium, the environment module offers farmers, processors, and packers one set of common criteria which can serve to prevent this possibility.

More like the AFS board encouraged retailers to back their new idea by offering them the opportunity to NOT have to pay a premium for reducing producers output.

Presumably TB will have to resign next month - same reason as MB - conflict of interests?

Will newly elected NFU deputy then be wheeled in to replace?

Just put that right for you,
Or does anyone believe in this election malarky

Do they not ALL have forked tongues ?

Option C
With the added option of your own and immediate family’s self sufficiency
Get a house cow, a goat, an acre of allotment for your own veggies, plant a fruit orchard, get solar panels and a small turbine, sink a well, learn how to knit hemp shirts. Lol
Last one is farcical…. But I think the time is approaching that the U.K. commercial food system will stall, food producers will stop growing food and all the ancillary industries will collapse ie seed suppliers, machinery dealers, and then it will be nigh impossible to restart again once the Govt realise that they physically can’t import all the food.

Is there any will within British farming, to organise along the same lines as the BBB party in the Netherlands?
